MicroRNAs as Biomarkers of Surgical Outcome in Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in International journal of molecular sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy is the most common type of epilepsy. For most patients suffering from TLE, the only treatment option is surgery. However, there is a high possibility of relapse. Invasive EEG as a method for predicting the outcome of surgical treatment is a very complex and invasive manipulation, so the search for outcome biomarkers is an urgent task. MicroRNAs as potential biomarkers of surgical outcome are the subject of this study. For this study, a systematic search for publications in databases such as PubMed, Springer, Web of Science, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and MDPI was carried out. The following keywords were used: temporal lobe epilepsy, microRNA, biomarkers, surgery, and outcome. Three microRNAs were studied as prognostic biomarkers of surgical outcome: miR-27a-3p, miR-328-3p, and miR-654-3p. According to the results of the study, only miR-654-3p showed a good ability to discriminate between patients with poor and good surgical outcomes. MiR-654-3p is involved in the following biological pathways: ATP-binding cassette drug transporters, glutamate transporter SLC7A11, and TP53. A specific target for miR-654-3p is GLRA2, the glycine receptor subunit. MicroRNAs, which are diagnostic biomarkers of TLE, and epileptogenesis, miR-134-5p, MiR-30a, miRs-143, etc., can be considered as potential biomarkers of surgical outcome, as they can be indicators of early and late relapses. These microRNAs are involved in the processes characteristic of epilepsy: oxidative stress and apoptosis. The study of miRNAs as potential predictive biomarkers of surgical outcome is an urgent task and should be continued. However, when studying miRNA expression profiles, it is important to take into account and note a number of factors, such as the type of sample under study, the time of sampling for the study, the type and duration of the disease, and the type of antiepileptic treatment. Without taking into account all these factors, it is impossible to assess the influence and involvement of miRNAs in epileptic processes.
