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

backgroundPreeclampsia is a serious pregnancy complication affecting 5% to 8% of pregnancies globally. preeclampsia is a leading cause of maternal and neonatal morbidity and death. Despite its prevalence, the underlying mechanisms of preeclampsia remain unclear. This study investigated the role of vasorin in preeclampsia pathogenesis by examining its levels in extracellular vesicles (EVs) and effects on vascular function. METHODS AND

resultsWe conducted unbiased proteomics on urine-derived EVs from women with severe preeclampsia and normotensive pregnancies, identifying differentially abundant proteins. Vasorin expression levels were measured in urinary EVs, plasma EVs, and placental tissue. EVs were generated from human and murine placental explants. Vascular functions were assessed using murine aortic rings and human aortic endothelial cells. Vasorin expression was manipulated in human aortic endothelial cells via overexpression and knockdown followed by RNA sequencing. One hundred twenty proteins showed ≥±1.5-fold regulation (

conclusionsThe data suggest that vasorin, delivered to the endothelium via EVs, regulates vascular function and that the loss of EV vasorin may be one of the mechanistic drivers of preeclampsia.
