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 common worldwide progressive neurodegenerative disease. The dysregulation of miRNA is crucial in neurodegenerative diseases and neuron apoptosis during AD and is closely associated with the MAPK pathway. By bioinformatic website, we found that there was target inhibiting relationship between microRNA (miR)-132 and MAPK1. Therefore, the current study speculated that miR-132 could improve the cognitive function of rats with AD by inhibiting MAPK1 expression. To verify our hypothesis, 10 normal rats and 60 rats with AD were selected and divided into model, Ad-miR-132 negative control (NC), Ad-miR-132, Ad-small interfering (si)MAPK1 NC, Ad-siMAPK1 and Ad-miR-132 + Ad-MAPK1 groups. Rats were evaluated for learning by performing morris water maze tests and pathological changes of the hippocampus were assessed via HE staining. Additionally, hippocampus cell apoptosis was determined using a TUNEL assay and levels of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) were evaluated in sera via ELISA. The mRNA and protein expression of miR-132, iNOS, MAPK1 and phosphorylated (p)-MAPK1 was determined in hippocampus tissues via reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and western blotting, respectively. Compared with normal mice, rats with AD had significantly decreased learning abilities, increased cell apoptosis rates, increased levels of AChE, iNOS, ROS, MDA, MAPK1 and p-MAPK1 and decreased levels of SOD, GSH-Px and miR-132. Upregulation of miR-132 group improved the above indictors and silencing MAKP1 worsened the condition of rats. miR-132 upregulation therefore reversed the negative effects caused by MAPK1 silencing in rats with AD. In conclusion, miR-132 inhibited hippocampal iNOS expression and oxidative stress by inhibiting MAPK1expression to improve the cognitive function of rats with AD.
