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 a highly complex brain disorder regarding clinical presentation, pathogenesis, and therapeutics. The cardinal motor signs, i.e., rigidity, bradykinesia, and unilateral tremors, arise in consequence of a progressive neuron death during the prodromal phase. Although multiple transmission systems are involved in disease neurobiology, patients will cross the line between the prodromal and early stage of diagnosed PD when they had lost half of the dopaminergic nigrostriatal cells. As the neurons continue to die ascending the neuroaxis, patients will face a more disabling disease with motor and nonmotor signs. Shedding light on molecular mechanisms of neuron death is an urgent need for understanding PD pathogenesis and projecting therapeutics. This work examined the expression of microRNAs in the striatum of parkinsonian rats chronically exposed to rotenone (2.5 mg/Kg, i.p., daily for 10 days). Rotenone caused motor deficits, the loss of TH(+) cells in the nigrostriatal pathway, and a marked microgliosis. This parkinsonian rat striatum was examined at 26 days after the last rotenone injection, for quantification of microRNAs, miR-7, miR-34a, miR-26a, miR-132, miR-382, and Let7a, by qPCR. Parkinsonian rats presented a significant increase in miR-26a and miR-34a (1.5 and 2.2 fold, respectively, P < 0.05), while miR-7 (0.5 fold, P < 0.05) and Let7a were downregulated. This work reports for first time microRNAs aberrantly expressed in the striatum of rotenone-induced parkinsonian rats, suggesting that this dysregulation may contribute to PD pathogenesis. Beyond revealing new clues of neurodegeneration, our findings might prime further studies targeting miRNAs for neuroprotection or even for diagnosis proposal.
