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

backgroundAlcohol exposure alters the expression of a large number of genes, resulting in neuronal adaptions and neuronal loss, but the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. miRNAs are gene repressors that are abundant in the brain. A recent study identified ~ 35 miRNAs that are up-regulated in the prefrontal cortex of human alcoholics and predicted to target genes that are down-regulated in the same region. Although interactions between alcohol-responsive miRNAs and their target genes have been predicted, few studies have validated these predictions.
