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 been demonstrated as key regulators of gene expression in the etiology of a range of diseases including Alzheimer's disease (AD). Recently, we identified miR-483-5p as the most upregulated miRNA amongst a panel of miRNAs in blood plasma specific to prodromal, early-stage Alzheimer's disease patients. Here, we investigated the functional role of miR-483-5p in AD pathology. Using TargetScan and miRTarBase, we identified the microtubule-associated protein MAPT, often referred to as TAU, and the extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1 and ERK2), known to phosphorylate TAU, as predicted direct targets of miR-483-5p. Employing several functional assays, we found that miR-483-5p regulates ERK1 and ERK2 at both mRNA and protein levels, resulting in lower levels of phosphorylated forms of both kinases. Moreover, miR-483-5p-mediated repression of ERK1/2 resulted in reduced phosphorylation of TAU protein at epitopes associated with TAU neurofibrillary pathology in AD. These results indicate that upregulation of miR-483-5p can decrease phosphorylation of TAU via ERK pathway, representing a compensatory neuroprotective mechanism in AD pathology. This miR-483-5p/ERK1/TAU axis thus represents a novel target for intervention in AD.
