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

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive and devastating neurodegenerative disorder. It is the leading cause of dementia in the world's rapidly growing aging population. The characteristics of AD are memory loss and cognitive impairment, meaning patients cannot carry out their daily activities independently. The increase of AD cases poses heavy burdens on families, society and the economy. Despite frequent efforts being made to research the etiology of AD, the causes of AD remain unknown, and no curative treatments are available yet. The pathological hallmarks of AD are amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain. MicroRNAs are endogenous ∼22 nucleotides non-coding RNAs that could regulate gene expression at a post-transcriptional level by transcript degradation or translation repression. MicroRNAs are involved in many biological processes and diseases, particularly multifactorial diseases, providing an excellent tool with which to research the mechanisms of these diseases. AD is a multifactorial disorder, and accumulating evidence shows that microRNAs play a critical role in the pathogenesis of AD. In this review, we will highlight the effect of microRNAs in different pathological processes throughout AD progression.
