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

backgroundCirculating extracellular and vesicle particle (EVP) miRNAs have been associated with cardiovascular risk and adverse birth outcomes. Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) increase risk for adverse birth outcomes and future cardiovascular outcomes in mothers and children and have been associated with altered maternal circulating EVP miRNA levels during pregnancy. Whether these relationships exist for elevated blood pressure (BP) in the subclinical range is unknown. We investigated associations between (1) hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and (2) maternal BP trajectories, including in the subclinical range, and circulating EVP miRNA levels during pregnancy in the MADRES (Maternal and Developmental Risks From Environmental and Social Stressors) Study (n=372).

methodsLatent class trajectory modeling was used to identify trajectories from BP measures abstracted from medical records. The NanoString nCounter platform was used to quantify 798 miRNAs extracted from maternal blood (median gestational age: 31.6 weeks). Covariate-adjusted regression models assessed associations between each hypertensive disorders of pregnancy subtype or BP trajectory and levels of each miRNA.

resultsThree BP trajectories were identified: Low, Moderate, and High. Chronic hypertension was associated with higher levels of miR-1185-2-3p (

conclusionsCirculating levels of placenta-expressed EVP miRNAs previously implicated in adverse birth and cardiovascular outcomes are sensitive to elevated maternal BP during pregnancy, including in the subclinical range.
