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

introductionAlzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease which presents with an earlier age of onset and increased symptom severity. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between regulation of miRNAs and AD. MATERIAL AND

methodsWe completed a bioinformatic analysis of miRNA-AD studies through multiple databases such as TargetScan, Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery (DAVID), FunRich and String and assessed which miRNAs are commonly elevated or decreased in brain tissues, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood of AD patients. All identified articles were assessed using specific inclusion and exclusion criteria.

resultsMiRNAs related to AD of twenty-eight studies were assessed in this study. A wide range of miRNAs were up-regulated or down-regulated in tissues of AD patients' brain, blood and CSF. Twenty-seven differentially dysregulated miRNAs involved in amyloidogenesis, inflammation, tau phosphorylation, apoptosis, synaptogenesis, neurotrophism, neuron degradation, and activation of cell cycle entry were identified. Additionally, our bioinformatics analysis identified the top ten functions of common miRNAs in candidate studies. The functions of common up-regulated miRNAs primarily target the nucleus and common down-regulated miRNAs primarily target transcription, DNA-templated.

conclusionsComprehensive analysis of all miRNA studies reveals cooperation in miRNA signatures whether in brain tissues or in CSF and peripheral blood. More and more studies suggest that miRNAs may play crucial roles as diagnostic biomarkers and/or as new therapeutic targets in AD. According to biomarkers, we can identify the preclinical phase early, which provides an important time window for therapeutic intervention.
