1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Chronic fetal hypoxia is one of the most common complications of pregnancy and can programme cardiac abnormalities in adult offspring including ventricular remodelling, diastolic dysfunction and sympathetic dominance. However, the underlying mechanisms at the level of the cardiomyocyte are unknown, preventing the identification of targets for therapeutic intervention. Therefore, we aimed to link echocardiographic data with cardiomyocyte function to reveal cellular mechanism for cardiac dysfunction in rat offspring from hypoxic pregnancy. Further, we investigated the potential of maternal treatment with melatonin as antenatal antioxidant therapy. Wistar rats were randomly allocated into normoxic (21% O
