Analysis of Normalizers and Neurodevelopment-Related microRNAs in the Prefrontal Cortex and in the Sperm of SHR Rats.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a psychiatric disorder that affects around 1% of the world's population. Despite the large number of studies about SCZ etiology and heritability, a definitive and clear genetic basis for SCZ and its inheritance has not been established so far. Considering that SCZ is influenced by environmental aspects, the participation of epigenetic mechanisms in the development and manifestation of SCZ is considered. However, longitudinal clinical and molecular studies that follow SCZ development using brain tissue are unfeasible. Thus, animal models, such as the spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), have been used to explore some aspects of SCZ. In this study, we investigated the expression of miRNAs related to neurodevelopment and/or to SCZ in the brains and sperm of SHR rats via RT-qPCR. For this, a previous analysis of endogenous qPCR normalizers was performed. The results showed that miR-Let-7g seems to be a candidate endogenous normalizer for the brain and sperm. However, no alteration in the expression of SCZ-related miRNA was detected. These data indicate that further studies must be performed to address the applicability of the SHR model to study the miRNA related to SCZ and its paternal transmission.
