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

Calcium signaling is a metabolic pathway that is essential in neurons development and can be involved in the pathobiology of epilepsy. We assessed expression of three mRNA coding gene (SLC1A1, SLC25A12, and ATP2B2) and three related long non-coding RNAs (LINC01231:1, lnc-SLC25A12-8:1 and lnc-MTR-1:1) from this pathway in 39 patients with refractory epilepsy and 71 healthy controls. Expression of all genes except for lnc-SLC25A12 was higher in total epileptic cases compared with controls (P values = 0.0002, < 0.0001, < 0.0001, 0.049 and 0.0005 for SLC1A1, SLC25A12, LINC01231, ATP2B2 and lnc-MTR-1, respectively. When we separately compared expression of genes among males and females, SLC1A1, SLC25A12, LINC01231 and lnc-MTR-1 showed up-regulation in male cases compared with male controls. Moreover, expressions of SLC1A1 and SLC25A12 were higher in female cases compared with female controls. Remarkably, SLC25A12 was found to have the highest sensitivity value (= 1) for differentiation of epileptic cases from controls. Moreover, lnc-MTR-1 and lnc-SLC25A12 were sensitive markers for such purpose (sensitivity values = 0.89 and 0.87, respectively). The highest value belonged to LINC01231 with the value of 0.76. Taken together, this study demonstrates dysregulation of calcium-signaling related genes in epileptic patients and suggests these genes as potential biomarkers for epilepsy.
