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

Pre-eclampsia, a major obstetric syndrome with an estimated global incidence of 2-8% of all pregnancies, ranks among the foremost causes of adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes worldwide. The Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII)-derived as the product of platelet and neutrophil counts divided by the lymphocyte count-is a composite hematological parameter first established in oncological research that simultaneously captures neutrophil activation, lymphocyte dysfunction, and platelet alterations-three immunohematological disturbances implicated in pre-eclampsia pathophysiology. This narrative review synthesizes the current evidence regarding SII in pre-eclampsia, examining the biological rationale, clinical study findings, comparative performance against established inflammatory biomarkers, practical advantages, and limitations. A comprehensive literature search encompassing PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar was conducted, covering all available records up to January 2026. The available data reveal substantial heterogeneity in both the direction of association (elevated versus paradoxically decreased SII in pre-eclampsia) and diagnostic performance across populations. While some studies report significantly elevated first-trimester SII values in women who subsequently develop pre-eclampsia, others demonstrate lower values or no significant predictive capacity. The only available meta-analysis reported non-significant pooled results for the pre-eclampsia-specific subgroup. Although SII's derivation from routine complete blood count testing presents the advantages of cost-effectiveness and universal accessibility, methodological limitations-including retrospective study designs, the absence of standardized thresholds, the inconsistent discriminatory performance, and the conflicting directionality of association-preclude clinical implementation at present. Integration within multiparametric prediction models may optimize SII's clinical utility. Future research should prioritize prospective validation studies across diverse populations, mechanistic investigations, and randomized controlled trials to establish evidence-based clinical translation.
