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

MicroRNAs are key regulators of brain gene expression, with miR-29 family notably upregulated from development to adulthood and in aging, and showing links to cognitive decline. However, the extent to which miR-29 levels influence learning and memory processes, and its molecular mediators, remains to be determined. Here, we down- and up-regulated miR-29 levels in the dorsal hippocampus of adult mice to reveal miR-29 role in memory. Inhibition of miR-29 enhanced trace fear memory stability, increased Dnmt3a levels, and promoted DNA methylation in a DNMT3a-dependent manner. In contrast, increasing miR-29 impaired memory performances and decreased Dnmt3a levels, suggesting a destabilization of memory processes. Proteomic and transcriptomic analysis demonstrated that miR-29 antagonism upregulated RNA-binding and synaptic proteins and downregulated inflammation and myelin associated proteins. These results underscore miR-29's pivotal role in memory persistence, plasticity, and cognitive aging, suggesting that miR-29 modulation could offer potential strategies for cognitive enhancement and age-related memory decline.
