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

Estrogen's impact on Alzheimer's disease (AD) is multifaceted, with its receptors potentially influencing AD pathology in both beneficial and detrimental ways. This study aims to dissect the intricate cross-talk between estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) and microRNAs (miRNAs) in AD-affected human hippocampus. Through a comprehensive literature review in the PubMed database, coupled with a GeneCards database search, we obtained AD-related key miRNAs and genes in the hippocampus. Using bioinformatics tools, we predicted target genes and miRNAs of ERα, and the targets of the identified miRNAs. The integration of these elements resulted in the construction of an ERα-related FFL network, which includes 13 miRNAs and 56 core genes. Gene ontology (GO) and pathway enrichment analyses were conducted, revealing significant enrichment in biological processes such as neuron death and response to metal ions, and cellular components like membrane microdomains. Notably, the AKT-associated signaling pathway was prominently highlighted, with key genes including GSK3A, CDKN1A, AKT2, and MDM2, and key miRNAs including miR-485 and let-7f, suggesting a potential role of ERα in modulating this pathway in AD. The findings of this study provide a novel perspective on the regulatory network of ERα in the hippocampal region of AD and may pave the way for future research into the therapeutic potential of targeting the ERα pathway in neurodegenerative diseases.
