The association of two common polymorphisms in miRNAs with diabetes mellitus: A meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundMicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding single-stranded RNAs with a length of ∼21 nucleotides. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) may affect the function of miRNAs, resulting in a variety of disorders in vivo. Recently, diabetes mellitus (DM) has become a global healthcare problem, and several studies have reported that 2 common polymorphisms (miRNA 146a rs2910164 and miRNA 27a rs895819) are related to susceptibility to diabetes. Given that no consensus had been reached regarding the association of the 2 polymorphisms with diabetes, we conducted this meta-analysis.
methodsFour databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, and Web of Science) were searched up to January 9, 2019. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to evaluate the association strength. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were also performed.
resultsSix studies involving 2585 cases and 2435 controls for miR146a rs2910164 and 5 studies involving 2922 cases and 2781 controls for miR27a rs895819 were ultimately analyzed in our meta-analysis. Based on pooled results, no statistical significance in association between rs2910164 and diabetes in Caucasians, Asians, or type 2 diabetes was observed in any genetic models. Nevertheless, we found a significant correlation between miRNA27a rs895819 and diabetes in the homozygote model (CC vs TT: OR = 0.58, 95%CI [0.35,0.98]) and recessive model (CC vs CT + TT: OR = 0.59, 95%CI [0.36,0.97]). By performing subgroup analysis, we also observed that C allele conveyed a significant protective effect against diabetes development in Caucasians (C vs T: OR = 0.67, 95%CI [0.52,0.85]).
conclusionIn conclusion, this meta-analysis indicated that miRNA27a rs895819 might play a protective role in diabetes, and miRNA146a rs2910164 likely had no association with diabetes.
