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

Proper growth of the mammalian cerebral cortex, which is determined by expansion and survival of neural progenitors and mature neurons, is crucial for cognitive functions. Here, we show a role of the dosage of microRNA miR-9 in controlling brain size. Cortical-specific upregulation of miR-9 causes microcephalic defects in mice, due to apoptosis, reduced neural progenitor pool, and decreased neurogenesis. Glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is a target of miR-9, and protects neural progenitors from miR-9-induced apoptosis. Furthermore, Zika virus (ZIKV) infection in embryonic mouse cortex causes reduced numbers in neural progenitors and newborn neurons, and results in upregulation of miR-9, downregulation of its target GDNF. Our studies indicate an association of altered levels of miR-9 and its target GDNF with microcephaly and ZIKV infection in mice.
