Epigenetic Regulation of Imprinted Genes in the Neurodevelopment of Offspring Born to Women with Preeclampsia: A Review.
Review in International journal of women's health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Preeclampsia (PE) is a severe hypertensive disorder of pregnancy that poses significant risks to both maternal health and offspring development. Increasing epidemiological evidence suggests that children born to women with PE have a higher risk of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), including autism spectrum disorder (ASD), cognitive impairment, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). However, the underlying biological mechanisms remain incompletely understood. This review aims to summarize current evidence on the association between PE and offspring neurodevelopmental outcomes, with a particular focus on the potential role of imprinted genes in epigenetic regulation. A literature search was conducted using databases including PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus, covering studies published up to 2025. Relevant articles were identified using keywords such as "preeclampsia", "imprinted genes", "epigenetics", "DNA methylation", and "neurodevelopment". Current evidence suggests that epigenetic alterations, particularly aberrant DNA methylation of imprinted genes, may be associated with disrupted placental function and potentially influence fetal brain development through proposed mechanisms. These changes are thought to be involved in the placenta-brain axis, although most findings remain associative and are derived from a combination of human observational studies and animal models. In conclusion, imprinted genes may play an important role in the epigenetic mechanisms linking PE and offspring neurodevelopmental abnormalities. However, findings across studies remain heterogeneous and sometimes inconsistent. Therefore, further studies are required to clarify causal relationships and to translate these findings into clinical applications.
