Characteristics of MicroRNA Expression Depending on the Presence or Absence of Meningioma in Patients with Neurofibromatosis Type 2: A Secondary Analysis.
Article in Neurologia medico-chirurgica, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Meningioma is the second most frequent tumor in patients with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2). The presence of meningioma is believed to be a negative prognostic marker in these patients. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in the tumorigenesis of NF2-associated meningioma are not well characterized. Epigenetic regulation, including microRNAs (miRNAs), may be involved in the development of different tumor types in patients with NF2. The objective of this study is to explore the different characteristics of serum miRNA expression depending on the presence or absence of meningioma in patients with NF2. Nine patients with NF2 who were treated at the Department of Neurosurgery, Hiroshima University Hospital, were included. Total RNA (including small RNAs) was extracted from serum samples for the preparation of a small RNA library for next-generation sequencing analysis. Differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) were analyzed using the DESeq2 package to compare the characteristic miRNA expression profiles of patients with and without meningioma. In small RNA sequencing analysis, out of a total of 1,879 miRNAs registered in the database, the expressions of 657 miRNAs were observed. In DEM analysis, the expressions of four miRNAs, namely, hsa-miR-664b, hsa-miR-7706, hsa-miR-590, and hsa-miR-6513, were downregulated in patients with NF2 with meningioma compared with patients with NF2 without meningioma. Hsa-miR-193a was identified as the only upregulated miRNA in patients with NF2 with meningioma. In conclusion, we identified different circulating miRNA expression characteristics depending on the presence or absence of meningioma in patients with NF2.
