Genetic variants of microRNA-146a gene: an indicator of systemic lupus erythematosus susceptibility, lupus nephritis, and disease activity.
Trial report in Molecular biology reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
Genetic variations of microRNA encoding genes influence various sorts of diseases by modifying the expression or activity of microRNAs. MicroRNA 146a is an epigenetic regulator of immune response through controlling the type I interferon (IFN) and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) pathways. Genetic variations of microRNA 146a impact the susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and its clinical presentations. This study aimed to investigate the polymorphisms of microRNA-146a gene (rs2431697 and rs57095329) in patients with SLE and its association with disease activity. Sixty-five patients with SLE and 40 apparently healthy controls were enrolled in this study. Patients were subjected to history taking, clinical examination, and disease activity evaluation by SLEDAI score. The microRNA-146a variants were determined by allele discrimination real-time PCR method in all participants. We found a statistically significant association between rs2431697 T allele and SLE (P-value < 0.05), but there was no significant association between rs57095329 and SLE. The T/T genotype of microRNA-146a rs2431697 was associated with lupus nephritis, higher disease activity, and autoantibodies production. The microRNA-146a rs2431697 T allele could be a potential risk factor that contributes to SLE susceptibility, development of lupus nephritis, and disease activity.
