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

Epilepsy frequently develops as a result of brain insult; however, there are no tools allowing to predict which patients suffering from trauma will eventually develop epilepsy. microRNAs are interesting candidates for biomarkers, as several of them have been described to change their levels in the brains, and in the plasma of epileptic subjects. This study was conducted to evaluate the usefulness of plasma miRNAs as epileptogenesis/epilepsy biomarkers. In our studies, we used a rat model of temporal lobe epilepsy. An epileptogenic insult was status epilepticus evoked by stimulation of the left lateral nucleus of the amygdala. Next, animals were continuously video and EEG monitored for 3 months. Blood was collected at 14, 30, 60, and 90 days after stimulation. Blood plasma was separated and miRNA levels were analyzed. We compared miRNA levels between sham-operated and stimulated animals, and between animals with high and low numbers of seizures. We propose three miRNAs that could be biomarkers of epilepsy: miR-671, miR-9a-3p and miR-7a-5p. According to us, miR-206-5p is a potential biomarker of epileptogenesis, and miR-221-3p is a potential biomarker of epilepsy severity. We think that these five miRNAs can be considered in the future as potential treatment targets.
