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

purposePrevious studies have found the neurodegeneration and atrophy of glaucomatous lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN), but the mechanism is still unknown. Circular RNA (circRNA) plays some important roles in physiological and pathological progression of the disease. In this study, we focused on the differentially expressed circRNAs and the mechanism for circXPO5 in LGN degeneration in a macaque glaucoma model.

methodsUsing RNA-seq, we analyzed the differentially expressed circRNAs in a macaque glaucoma model. An RT-QPCR was used to check the expression of selected differentially expressed circRNAs, candidate miRNAs and mRNAs. A competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network analysis was performed to examine the mechanism of circXPO5 action.

resultscircXPO5 significantly decreased in the glaucoma model and a ceRNA network analysis revealed that circXPO5 can bind to miR-330-5p, which also binds to GRIN2A (ionotropic receptor NMDA type subunit 2A). QPCR detection showed a decrease in GRIN2A and an increase in miR-330-5p.

conclusionsOur earlier studies revealed that the GRIN2A gene regulates the calcium signal pathway. Decreasing of GRIN2A related with neuron apoptosis and neurodegeneration. These findings indicate that the reduction in circXPO5 may have a protective effect on neuronal apoptosis in the visual central system of glaucoma.
