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 neurodegenerative disease that belongs to the α synucleinopathies. Clinically, there is an overlap between MSA and Parkinson's disease (PD), especially at the early disease stage. However, these two pathologies differ in terms of disease progression. Currently, no biomarker exists to differentiate MSA from PD. MicroRNAs are non-coding RNAs implicated in gene expression regulation. MiRNAs modulate cellular activity and they control a range of physiological and pathological functions. miRNAs are found in biofluids, such as blood, serum, plasma, saliva, and cerebrospinal fluid. Many groups, including ours, found that circulating miRNAs are differently expressed in blood, plasma, serum and cerebrospinal fluid of PD and MSA patients. In the present study, our primary aim was to determine if serum mir-30-5p and mir-148b-5p can be used as biomarkers for early diagnosis of PD and/or MSA. Our secondary goal was to determine if serum levels of those miRNAs can be correlated with the patients' clinical profile. Using quantitative PCR (qPCR), we evaluated expression levels of miR-30c-5p and miR148b-5p in serum samples from PD (n = 56), MSA (n = 49), and healthy control (n = 50) subjects. We have found that miR-30c-5p is significantly upregulated in MSA if compared with PD and healthy control subjects. Moreover, serum miR-30c-5p levels correlate with disease duration in both MSA and PD. No significant difference was found in miR-148b-5p among MSA, PD and healthy control subjects. Our results suggest a possible role of serum miR-30-5p as a biomarker for diagnosis and progression of MSA.
