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

Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a sporadic neurodegenerative disease that is pathologically characterized by α‑synuclein positive glial cytoplasmic inclusions in oligodendrocytes. The clinical diagnosis of MSA is often challenging as there are no established biomarkers and diagnoses are now based on clinical findings alone. At present, the etiology and pathogenesis of MSA are unclear. It has been reported that dysregulation of microRNA (miRNA/miR) serves an important role in neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The miRNA profile of patients with MSA remains to be established. The present study investigated the serum miRNA expression level of 10 patients with MSA, using microarray chips including 668 miRNAs. It was identified that 50 miRNAs were significantly upregulated and 17 miRNAs were significantly downregulated in the serum of the patients with MSA. The most upregulated miRNA was miR‑16, which may induce the accumulation of α‑synuclein. The target genes of some miRNAs upregulated in MSA (including miR‑17, 20a, 24, 25, 30d and 451) were associated with autophagy‑associated molecules. The present study concluded that the expression pattern of miRNAs may be a clinical biomarker for MSA and targeting these miRNAs may provide a novel treatment for MSA.
