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

The central role of angiotensinogen in the control of blood pressure is revealed by a series of crystallographic structures, including complexes with renin. Specifically, the structures provide an understanding of the sequential molecular events that lead to the pre-eclamptic hypertensive crises of pregnancy. The release of the precursor vasopressor peptide from the amino-terminal tail of angiotensinogen appears to be modulated by a redox-sensitive disulphide bridge. Our findings indicate that the activation of the thiol-switch in the circulating maternal angiotensinogen occurs at the placental level in response to oxidative stress, exacerbated by placental insufficiency. We propose here that a contributory factor is the inherent redox stress accompanying the placental exchange of oxygenation between the haemoglobin of the mother (oxy-HbA) and the deoxygenated haemoglobin of the foetus (deoxy-HbF).
