Are Sirtuins 1 and 2 Relevant Players in Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis?
Article in Biomedicines, 2024. 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
SIRTs were demonstrated to play an important role in inflammatory, degenerative, and metabolic alterations, constituting the background of the central nervous system. Thus, they seem to be an appropriate object of investigation (as potential biomarkers of disease activity and/or novel therapeutic targets) in multiple sclerosis (MS), which has a complex etiology that comprises a cross-talk between all these processes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the levels of SIRT1 and SIRT2 in the serum of patients with the relapsing-remitting type of MS (RRMS), as well as their relationships with various aspects of MS-related disability.
methodsA total of 115 patients with RRMS (78 women, 37 men, mean age 43 ± 9.9) and 39 healthy controls were included in the study. SIRT1 and SIRT2 were detected in the serum using the enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) method. In the RRMS group, relationships were investigated between the SIRT 1 and 2 levels and the demographic data, MS-related clinical variables, and the results of tests evaluating fatigue, sleep problems, cognitive performance, autonomic dysfunction, and depression.
resultsThe levels of SIRT1 and SIRT2 in RRMS patients were significantly lower than in the controls (11.14 vs. 14. 23,
conclusionsThe serum levels of SIRT1 and 2 were decreased in the RRMS patients (especially in the female ones) and correlated with the degree of neurological deficit. The role of SIRTs as biomarkers of disease activity or mediators relevant for "invisible disability" in MS warrants further investigation.
