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

The G allele of rs4702 polymorphism has been reported to reduce the production of mature BDNF and FURIN, both of which were closely associated with cognitive functions. Real-time PCR, ELISA and luciferase assay were performed to explore the interactions between miR-338-3p, FURIN and BDNF. T-RFLP was used to assess the intestinal flora in the stool samples of glioma patients after radiotherapy. We grouped the 106 glioma patients recruited according to the rs4702 polymorphism. The results showed no obvious correlation between rs4702 polymorphism and the expression of miR-338-3p. However, rs4702-A was associated with increased expression of FURIN and BDNF in the serum and PBMC of glioma patients after radiotherapy. Besides, the study found that rs4702-A was remarkably associated with increased enterotype I and decreased enterotype III in the stool of glioma patients after radiotherapy. Rs4702-A was also proved to be closely associated with increased MMSE, role functioning and social functioning at three months after radiotherapy. Furthermore, miR-338-3p repressed the expression of FURIN-G. Compared with G allele, the presence of A allele of rs4702 polymorphism in FURIN could obstruct the suppressive effect of miR-338-3p upon the expression of FURIN and BDNF in intestinal flora. Therefore, the carriers of A allele will be challenged with less risk of radiotherapy-induced cognitive impairment.
