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

Recent reports highlight regulatory functions of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in neurodegeneration and aging, but biomedical implications remain limited. Here, we report an rRNA-depletion-based long RNA-Sequencing Resource of 65 substantia nigra, amygdala, and medial temporal gyrus samples from Parkinson's disease (PD) and matched control brains. Using a lncRNA-focused analysis approach to identify functionally important transcripts, we discovered and prioritized many lncRNAs dysregulated in PD. Those included pronounced elevation of the P53-induced noncoding transcript LINC-PINT in the substantia nigra of PD patients, as well as in additional models of oxidative stress and PD. Intriguingly, we found that LINC-PINT is a primarily neuronal transcript which showed conspicuous increases in maturing primary culture neurons. LINC-PINT also accumulated in several brain regions of Alzheimer's and Huntington's disease patients and decreased with healthy brain aging, suggesting a general role in aging and neurodegeneration for this lncRNA. RNAi-mediated depletion of LINC-PINT exacerbated the death of cultured N2A and SH-SY5Y cells exposed to oxidative stress, highlighting a previously undiscovered neuroprotective role for this tumor-inducible lncRNA in the brains of patients with neurodegenerative disorders.
