A protein-mRNA feedback exists in miR-21-associated E-selectin expression.
Article in International journal of radiation biology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeTo study whether miR-21, an oncogene associated with lung tumorigenesis, affects immune response. MATERIAL AND
methodsCancer immune-related 786 mRNA expression was compared in lung tissue from wild-type and miR-21 knock-in mice using NanoString technology. The significantly changed genes were verified using real-time PCR. E-Selectin (Sele) was subsequently identified for further examination using immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western blot in the same lung tissue. The mouse Sele 3'untranslated region (3'-UTR) was searched to identify a miR-21 matching sequence. The Sele level in miR-21 mimic transfected mouse lung bronchial epithelial (LBE) cells was examined.
resultsWe unexpectedly found that the Sele mRNA level significantly increased but the protein level significantly decreased in the lung tissue of miR-21 knock-in mice compared to the mRNA/protein levels in the lung tissue of wild-type mice. The mouse Sele 3'-UTR contains the key sequence that can be targeted by miR-21. The Sele levels decreased in mouse LBE cells after miR-21 mimic transfection.
conclusionSele is a potential miR-21 target. The opposing Sele levels at mRNA and protein suggest a feedback-regulation from protein to mRNA. The feedback-regulation in miR-21-suppressed gene expression indicates that we should carefully evaluate any data from mRNA array since they may not reflect real protein expression status.
