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 have emerged as regulators of brain development and function. Reduction of miR-101 expression has been reported in rodent hippocampus during ageing, in the brain of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients and in AD animal models. In this study, we investigated the behavioral and molecular consequences of inhibition of endogenous miR-101 in 4-5-month-old C57BL/6J mice, infused with lentiviral particles expressing a miR-101 sponge (pLSyn-miR-101 sponge) in the CA1 field of the hippocampus. The sponge-infected mouse model showed cognitive impairment. The pLSyn-miR-101 sponge-infected mice were unable to discriminate either a novel object location or a novel object as assessed by object place recognition (OPR) and novel object recognition (NOR) tasks, respectively. Moreover, the sponge-infected mice evaluated for contextual memory in inhibitory avoidance task showed shorter retention latency compared to control pLSyn mice. These cognitive impairment features were associated with increased hippocampal expression of relevant miR-101 target genes, amyloid precursor protein (APP), RanBP9 and Rab5 and overproduction of amyloid beta (Aβ) 42 levels, the more toxic species of Aβ peptide. Notably, phosphorylation-dependent AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) hyperactivation is associated with AD pathology and age-dependent memory decline, and we found AMPK hyperphosphorylation in the hippocampus of pLSyn-miR-101 sponge mice. This study demonstrates that mimicking age-associated loss of miR-101 in hippocampal neurons induces cognitive decline and modulation of AD-related genes in mice.
