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 deregulation of several microRNAs (miRNAs) has been associated with neurodegenerative processes, including Parkinson's disease (PD). Our aim was to characterize the level of miRNAs in the substantia nigra (SN) of PD patients and healthy donors. This is an important issue to characterize new putative markers and therapeutic targets for PD. RNA was extracted from the SN of postmortem PD (n=8) and healthy (n=4) subjects, and the level of 733 human miRNAs was assayed with TaqMan low-density arrays (TLDAs). Overall, there was a miRNA downregulation in the SN of patients. The mean level of 11 miRNAs was significantly different (p<0.05) between patients and controls, with 10 downregulated among the patients. MiR-198, -135b, -485-5p, and -548d were the best candidates and were quantified with individual TaqMan assays in the 12 samples. MiR-135b showed the most significant difference between patients and healthy donors. The bioinformatic analysis suggested that this miRNA could bind to genes implicated in several neurodegenerative pathways.
