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

backgroundParkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder which mainly affects the elderly population of various societies. The main hallmark of this disease is the loss of dopaminergic (DA) neurons. So far, numerous studies have implied the role of microRNAs in fine-tuning cellular processes including apoptosis. Studies have also shown that miR-34a is mainly involved in age-related disorders including Alzheimer's disease, and its expression is usually higher in the brain sample patients. Furthermore, the key role of miR-34a in the expression of BCL-2, and thus, in vitro and in vivo apoptosis has been revealed. miR-34a/BCL-2 axis is therefore of critical importance in inducing or inhibiting apoptosis.

methodsIn this study, human SH-SY5Y cells were treated with MPP+ and the expression of miR-34a and BCL2 was assessed.

resultsOur results also showed that treating human SH-SY5Y neuronal cells using MPP

conclusionmiR-34a and its target gene, BCL-2, play a possible role in the induction of apoptosis in DA neurons, and therefore, they have a potential role in the pathogenesis of PD. Consequently, the therapeutic potential of miR-34a could be considered in order to inhibit the progression of PD.
