Aberrant Expression of Serum MicroRNA-153 and -199a in Generalized Epilepsy and its Correlation with Drug Resistance.

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
Background: Epilepsy is one of the common neurological disorders affecting approximately 50 million people worldwide. Despite the recent introduction of new antiepileptic drugs, about one-third of patients with epilepsy have seizures refractory to pharmacotherapy. Early recognition of patients with drug-resistant epilepsy may help direct these patients to appropriate nonpharmacological treatment. Purpose: The possible use of serum microRNAs (miRNAs) as noninvasive biomarkers has been explored in various brain diseases, including epilepsy. In this study, we are aiming at analyzing the expression levels of circulating miRNA-153 and miRNA-199a in patients with generalized epilepsy and their correlation with drug resistance. Methods: Our study comprised 40 patients with generalized epilepsy and 20 healthy controls. 22 patients were drug-resistant and 18 patients were drug-responsive. The expression levels of miRNA-153 and -199a in serum were analyzed using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Data analysis was done by IBM SPSS Statistics 20.0. Results: The expression of miRNA-153 and -199a in serum was significantly downregulated in patients with generalized epilepsy compared with that of the healthy control ( Conclusion: We suggest that serum miRNAs-153 and -199a expression levels could be potential noninvasive biomarkers supporting the diagnosis of generalized epilepsy. Moreover, they could be used for the early detection of refractory generalized epilepsy.
