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

PGC-1α/FNDC5/BDNF has found to be a critical pathway in neurodegeneration. MicroRNAs (miR(NA)s) are non-coding regulatory RNAs whose dysregulation has been observed in multiple neurological disorders, and miRNA-mediated gene deregulation plays a decisive role in PD. Here, candidate miRNA was chosen based on the literature survey and in silico studies. Chronic and acute models of PD were created using MPP+-treated SH-SY5Y cells. Twenty PD patients and 20 healthy volunteers were recruited. RT-qPCR was performed to assess the expression of miRNA and genes. Severe mitochondrial dysfunction induced by acute MPP+ treatment instigated compensatory mechanisms through enhancing expression of PGC-1α/FNDC5/BDNF pathway genes, while chronic MPP+ toxicity led to down-regulated levels of the genes in SH-SY5Y cells. PD peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) also showed decreased expression of target genes. There were significant changes in the level of miR-193b in both models, as well as PD PBMCs. Moreover, miR-193b overexpression significantly affected PGC-1α, FNDC5 and TFAM levels. Interestingly, down-regulations of PGC-1α, FNDC5, BDNF and TFAM were inversely correlated with miR-193b up-regulation in PD PBMCs. This study showed the deregulation of PGC-1α/FNDC5/BDNF pathway in PD models and PBMCs, verifying its importance in neurodegeneration. Our findings also revealed that miR-193b functions in PD development, possibly through regulating PGC-1α/FNDC5/BDNF pathway, suggesting miR-193b as a potential biomarker for PD diagnosis.
