miRNA-214 to predict progression and survival in ALS.
Article in Journal of neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
backgroundReliable biomarkers are essential for predicting the progression speed and prognosis of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). We previously identified NCK-associated protein 1 (NCKAP1) as a critical factor in the defective phagocytosis observed in induced microglia-like cells (iMGs) from patients with rapidly progressive sporadic ALS. This study explored the roles of microRNA (miRNA)-214, which targets the
methodsThe discovery cohort (n=29) was used to identify miR-214 targeting
resultsIn the discovery cohort, miR-214 levels were increased in plasma and iMGs from rapidly progressive ALS participants. This finding was validated in another cohort of 132 ALS participants and 30 age-matched healthy volunteers. Plasma miR-214 levels correlated with disease progression, severity and survival, distinguishing between rapidly progressive and slowly progressive ALS. In addition, miR-214 levels also correlated with plasma neurofilament light chain (NfL) and cerebrospinal fluid inflammatory cytokines, showing specific associations with increased NfL and monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1). Survival prediction accuracy improved when miR-214 levels were considered with NfL or MCP-1 levels.
conclusionsPlasma miRNA-214 could serve as a novel biomarker for predicting the progression and prognosis of ALS.
