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

MicroRNAs regulate gene expression at the posttranscriptional level, and this process has been shown to be implicated in the pathological processes of temporal lobe epilepsy. At present, studies about the impact of microRNA-181a (miR-181a) on epilepsy have focused on hippocampal neurons, and the effect of miR-181a on other cells in the hippocampus remains poorly understood. Herein, we explored the role of miR-181a-5p in a lithium-pilocarpine model of epilepticus in immature rats. We found that the hippocampal expression level of miR-181a-5p was increased. Inhibition of miR-181a-5p protected the hippocampus against epilepsy, including hippocampal insults, neuronal apoptosis, astrocyte and microglia activation, neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial function, and cognitive dysfunction. Moreover, miR-181a-5p inhibition exerted a seizure-suppressing effect via SIRT1 upregulation. Overall, our findings reveal the potential role of the miR-181a-5p/SIRT1 pathway in the development of temporal lobe epilepsy, and this pathway may represent a novel target for ameliorating epilepsy and its sequelae.
