The Possible Influence of Mediterranean Diet on Extracellular Vesicle miRNA Expression in Breast Cancer Survivors.
Article in Cancers, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
The Mediterranean diet (MD) has been reported to have beneficial effects on breast cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Recently, microRNAs (miRNAs) have been suggested as biomarkers for the diagnosis and disease prognosis in cancer and cardiovascular diseases. We evaluated the influence of the MD on the plasma-derived extracellular vesicle miRNA signature of overweight breast cancer survivors. Sixteen participants instructed to adhere to the MD for eight weeks were included in this study. To curate differentially expressed miRNAs after MD intervention, we employed two methods: significance analysis of microarrays and DESeq2. The selected miRNAs were analyzed using ingenuity pathway analysis. After an eight-week intervention, body mass index, waist circumference, fasting glucose, fasting insulin, and homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance were significantly improved. Expression levels of 798 miRNAs were comprehensively analyzed, and 42 extracellular vesicle miRNAs were significantly differentially regulated after the eight-week MD (36 were up and 6 were down-regulated). We also identified enriched pathways in genes regulated by differentially expressed 42 miRNAs, which include signaling associated with breast cancer, energy metabolism, glucose metabolism, and insulin. Our study indicates that extracellular vesicle miRNAs differentially expressed as a result of the MD might be involved in the mechanisms that relate to cardiometabolic risk factors in overweight breast cancer survivors.
