Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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 aim of this study is to explore the role of microRNAs (miR)-21/23a/146a/150/155 targeting the toll-like receptor pathway in active tuberculosis (TB) disease and latent TB infection (LTBI). Gene expression levels of the five miRs and predicted target genes were assessed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 46 patients with active pulmonary TB, 15 subjects with LTBI, and 17 non-infected healthy subjects (NIHS). THP-1 cell lines were transfected with miR-23a-3p mimics under stimuli with Mycobacterium TB-specific antigens. Both miR-155-5p and miR-150-5p gene expressions were decreased in the active TB group versus the NIHS group. Both miR-23a-3p and miR-146a-5p gene expressions were decreased in active TB patients with high bacterial burden versus those with low bacterial burden or control group (LTBI + NIHS). TLR2, TLR4, and interleukin (IL)10 gene expressions were all increased in active TB versus NIHS group. MiR-23a-3p mimic transfection reversed ESAT6-induced reduction of reactive oxygen species generation, and augmented ESAT6-induced late apoptosis and phagocytosis, in association with down-regulations of the predicted target genes, including tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, TLR4, TLR2, IL6, IL10, Notch1, IL6R, BCL2, TGF-β1, SP1, and IRF1. In conclusion, the down-regulation of miR-23a-3p in active TB patients with high bacterial burden inhibited mononuclear cell function and phagocytosis through TLR4/TNF-α/TGF-β1/IL-10 signaling via targeting IRF1/SP1.
