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

objectivesTo investigate the serological risk factors for preeclampsia, focusing on homocysteine level and its predictive role in the condition.

methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 242 pregnant women (121 preeclampsia cases and 121 healthy controls) admitted from January 2022 to June 2023. Serological markers, including homocysteine, fasting blood glucose (FBG), triglycerides (TG), and inflammatory indicators, were compared between the two groups. Statistical analyses, including multivariate logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, were performed to identify significant predictors.

resultsElevated homocysteine levels were strongly associated with preeclampsia, showing a high area under the curve (AUC) of 0.978 in ROC analysis, with a sensitivity of 93.4% and a specificity of 95.0% at a 9.230 μmol/L threshold. TG and FBG were also associated with increased preeclampsia risk, though the latter's significance diminished in multivariate analysis. In terms of inflammatory markers, Interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels were elevated, whereas C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were unexpectedly lower in preeclampsia cases. Lower Vitamin C level was correlated with the presence of preeclampsia.

conclusionElevated homocysteine level was a significant predictor of preeclampsia, alongside dyslipidemia and altered inflammatory responses.
