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

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by abnormal synchronous discharges of neurons in the brain. It affects approximately 70 million people worldwide, and approximately 30% of patients are resistant to existing antiepileptic drugs. Repeated seizures can lead to neuronal damage, glial cell activation and neuroinflammation, creating a vicious cycle of seizures, inflammation, and neuronal damage. Recent studies have shown that microRNAs play a key role in the pathological process of epilepsy by regulating the phenotype, inflammatory response and metabolic function of astrocytes and microglia. In addition, long noncoding RNAs, as upstream regulators of miRNAs, influence miRNA function by acting as competitive endogenous RNAs, further regulating glial cell activation and inflammatory responses. This paper is the first to systematically elucidate the synergistic role of miRNAs and lncRNAs in epilepsy through glial cell polarization, metabolic imbalance and exosome-mediated transcellular communication, providing a theoretical framework for the development of multitargeted intervention strategies.
