MicroRNA expression profiles predictive of human renal allograft status.

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
Immune rejection of organ transplants is a life-threatening complication and is exemplified by alterations in the expression of protein-encoding genes. Because microRNAs (miRNAs) regulate the expression of genes implicated in adaptive immunity, we investigated whether acute rejection (AR) is associated with alterations in miRNA expression within allografts and whether expression profiles are diagnostic of AR and predict allograft function. Seven of 33 renal allograft biopsies (12 AR and 21 normal) were profiled using microfluidic cards containing 365 mature human miRNAs (training set), and a subset of differentially expressed miRNAs were quantified in the remaining 26 allograft biopsies (validation set). We found a strong association between intragraft expression of miRNAs and messenger RNAs (mRNAs), and that AR, and renal allograft function, could be predicted with a high level of precision using intragraft levels of miRNAs. Our investigation of miRNA expression in normal human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) showed that miRNAs (miR-142-5p, -155, and -223) overexpressed in AR biopsies are highly expressed in PBMCs, and that stimulation with the mitogen phytohaemagglutinin results in an increase in the abundance of miR-155 and a decrease in miR-223 and let-7c. Quantification of miRNAs in primary cultures of human renal epithelial cells (HRECs) showed that miR-30a-3p, -10b, and let-7c are highly expressed in HRECs, and that stimulation results in a decreased expression of miR-30a-3p. Our studies, in addition to suggesting a cellular basis for the altered intragraft expression of miRNAs, propose that miRNA expression patterns may serve as biomarkers of human renal allograft status.
