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

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common age-related neurodegenerative disease. MicroRNA-7 (miR-7) displays neuroprotective properties against PD. However, the biological roles of miR-7 and its underlying molecular mechanisms in PD remain unclear. We demonstrated herein that 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion (MPP(+)) confers toxic effects on dopaminergic neuron in a dose-dependent manner in a cellular PD model, although this phenomenon is attenuated by miR-7 treatment. Introduction of miR-7 inhibits MPP(+)-induced neuronal apoptosis as reflected by the reduced terminal transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling-positive rate, mitochondrial permeability potential, caspase 3 activity, and nucleosomal enrichment factor. Bax and sirtuin 2 (Sirt2) are the direct targets of miR-7. Moreover, the effects of miR-7 were counteracted by Bax and Sirt2 overexpression, respectively. The altered molecular expressions downstream of Bax and Sirt2 are also involved in miR-7 regulation of the MPP(+)-triggered neuronal apoptosis. These findings have implications on the potential application of miR-7 in PD treatment.
