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

Adenosine deaminase acting on RNA1 (ADAR1) is a newly discovered epigenetic molecule marker that is sensitive to environmental stressors. A recent study has demonstrated that ADAR1 affects BDNF expression via miR-432 and is involved in antidepressant action. However, the detailed molecular mechanism is still unclear. We have uncovered a new molecular mechanism showing the involvement of miR-432 and circ_0000418 in mediating the antidepressant action of ADAR1. We demonstrate that the ADAR1 inducer (IFN-γ) alleviates the depressive-like behaviors of BALB/c mice treated with chronic unpredictable stress (CUS) exposure. Moreover, both in vivo and in vitro studies show that ADAR1 differently impacts miR-432 and circ_0000418 expressions. Furthermore, the in vitro results demonstrate that circ_0000418 oppositely affects BDNF expression. Together, our results indicate that ADAR1 affects CUS-induced depressive-like behavior and BDNF expression by acting on miR-432 and circ_0000418. Elucidation of this new molecular mechanism will not only provide insights into further understanding the important role of ADAR1 in stress-induced depressive-like behavior but also suggest a potential therapeutic strategy for developing novel anti-depressive drugs.
