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

Hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α) regulates cellular responses to hypoxia. Overexpression of HIF-1α is associated with abnormal placental trophoblast invasion and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. We evaluated the putative association between polymorphisms and haplotypes in parental and child HIF-1α genes and the risk of severe-spectrum hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Case (N = 179) and control (N = 34) mother-father-child triads were recruited by an internet-based method. Cases were defined as HELLP (Hemolysis, Elevated Liver enzymes and Low Platelets) syndrome or pre-eclampsia with severe features. Four HIF-1α single nucleotide polymorphisms were genotyped: rs4902080, rs2057492, rs11549465, rs10144958. Relative risks and 95% confidence intervals were estimated using log-linear free response models, adjusting for correlation between familial genotypes. Relative risk of severe-spectrum hypertensive disorder of pregnancy was increased with double-dose carriage of the T allele for SNP rs4902080 in both mother [RR 6.96, p = 0.028] and child [RR 5.77, p = 0.031]. Child double-dose of the T allele for SNP rs10144958 [RR 5.52, p = 0.047] also increased risk. The heterozygous genotype (CT) for SNPs rs2057482 and rs11549465 was protective against hypertensive disorders of pregnancy when carried by mother [rs2057482: RR 0.34, p < 0.001; rs11549465: RR 0.23, p < 0.001] or child [rs2057482: RR 0.44, p < 0.001; rs11549465: RR 0.31, p < 0.001]. A single copy of the C-c-c-G haplotype (rs4902080-rs2057482-rs11549465-rs10144958, N = 147), conferred decreased risk versus the C-T-T-G haplotype in mother [RR 0.28, p < 0.001] and child [RR 0.36, p < 0.001]. No parent-of-origin effects were seen. We conclude that polymorphism changes and haplotypes in the HIF-1α gene of mothers, fathers, and children are associated with risk for severe-spectrum hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.
