Targeting steroid receptor RNA activator (SRA), a long non-coding RNA, enhances melanogenesis through activation of TRP1 and inhibition of p38 phosphorylation.
Article in PloS one, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Abnormal skin melanin homeostasis results in refractory pigmentary diseases. Melanogenesis is influenced by gene regulation, ultraviolet radiation, and host epigenetic responses. Steroid receptor RNA activator (SRA), a long noncoding RNA, is known to regulate steroidogenesis and tumorigenesis. However, how SRA contributes to melanogenesis remains unknown. Using RNA interference against SRA in B16 and A375 melanoma cells, we observed increased pigmentation and increased expression of TRP1 and TRP2 at transcriptional and translational levels only in B16 cells. The constitutive phosphorylation of p38 in B16-shCtrl cells was inhibited in cells with knocked down SRAi. Moreover, the melanin content of control B16 cells was increased by SB202190, a p38 inhibitor. Furthermore, reduced p38 phosphorylation, enhanced TRP1 expression, and hypermelanosis were observed in A375 cells with RNA interference. These results indicate that SRA-p38-TRP1 axis has a regulatory role in melanin homeostasis and that SRA might be a potential therapeutic target for treating pigmentary diseases.
