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

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with demyelination and microglial activation. Significant progress has recently been made in the development of strategies to treat MS with a focus on microglial cells. In response to injury, microglia, a population of mononuclear phagocytic cells, change from quiescent to activated. M1 microglia produce pro-inflammatory cytokines that cause additional injury, thus they are considered neurotoxic microglia. M2 microglia release anti-inflammatory factors that lead to the suppression of inflammatory responses; therefore, they have a neurotrophic phenotype. The balance between M1 and M2 phenotypes is important for nerve recovery. In neurodegenerative diseases, activated microglia are excessively shifted toward M1 or neurotoxic phenotype due to microRNA (miRNA) dysregulation. The miRNA as a class of non-coding RNAs, control the neuroinflammatory process by activation of microglia. The miR-124 is partly responsible for suppressing the neuroprotective and inflammatory processes by preventing microglia activation. Meanwhile, the microRNA 155, which is induced by pro-inflammatory agents in microglia, promotes the inflammatory process. Several studies have shown that in MS pathogenesis, miR-124 as an anti-inflammatory marker is significantly downregulated, while miR-155 shows an increase. In this study, we will investigate the role of miR-124 and miR-155 in the activation and alteration of microglial phenotype. Finding the relationship between microRNAs and glial cells and inflammation in MS may be used as a therapeutic method to reduce the symptoms in MS patients.
