miR-140-5p regulates adipocyte differentiation by targeting transforming growth factor-β signaling.
Article in Scientific reports, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 31 papers.
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
Recent emerging studies of miRNAs in adipocyte commitment provide new insights to understand the molecular basis of adipogenesis. The current study indicated that miR-140-5p was altered in primary cultured marrow stromal cells and established progenitor lines after adipogenic and/or osteogenic treatment. miR-140-5p was increased in adipose tissue in db/db obese mice vs. lean mice. Supplementing miR-140-5p activity induced stromal cell ST2 and preadipocyte 3T3-L1 to differentiate into mature adipocytes. Conversely, inhibition of the endogenous miR-140-5p repressed ST2 and 3T3-L1 to fully differentiate. By contrast, knockdown of the endogenous miR-140-5p enhanced osteoblast differentiation. Transforming growth factor-β receptor I (Tgfbr1) was shown to be a direct target of miR-140-5p. Supplementing miR-140-5p in ST2 reduced the level of TGFBR1 protein, while suppression of endogenous miR-140-5p increased TGFBR1. Overexpression of Tgfbr1 inhibited, whereas knockdown of Tgfbr1 promoted adipogenic differentiation of ST2 cells. Further investigation of mechanisms that control miR-140-5p expression revealed that C/EBPα induced transcriptional activity of the miR-140-5p promoter. Removal of the putative response element of C/EBP from the promoter abolished the enhancement of the promoter activity by C/EBPα, suggesting that C/EBPα transcriptionally controls miR-140-5p expression. Taken together, our study provides evidences that miR-140-5p regulates adipocyte differentiation through a C/EBP/miR-140-5p/TGFBR1 regulatory feedback loop.
