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

Beta-secretase 1 (BACE1) gene encodes a transmembrane protease from the peptidase A1 family of aspartic proteases whose role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease has been assessed. The enzymatic activity of BACE1 on several proteins implicated in epileptogenesis implies its role in the pathogenesis of epilepsy. In the present study, we assessed expression of BACE1 and its naturally occurring antisense (BACE1-AS) in peripheral blood of 40 epileptic patients and 40 age- and sex-matched healthy subjects. We did not detect either any difference in the expression of these genes between cases and controls or significant correlation between their expressions and participants' age. However, we demonstrated a significant correlation between expression levels of BACE1 and BACE1-AS which supports the previously suggested feed-forward mechanism of regulation between these two transcripts. Future studies in larger sample sizes are needed to elaborate the function of BACE1 in epilepsy.
