Differential expression of transfer RNA-derived small RNAs in IgA nephropathy.
Article in Medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundIgA nephropathy (IgAN) is one of the most common forms of primary glomerulonephritis. Recent studies have indicated that small noncoding RNAs, such as tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs), might be novel biomarkers for glomerulonephritis. We therefore investigated the potential roles and possible functions of the tsRNAs in IgAN.
methodPeripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were extracted from blood samples of the patients with IgAN and healthy control groups. The expression profiles of tsRNAs were assessed by small RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) in PBMCs of the IgAN and control groups. Dysregulated tsRNAs were selected for validation by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Target gene prediction and enrichment were performed by bioinformatics analysis.
resultsThe results revealed that 143 significantly upregulated and 202 significantly downregulated tsRNAs were differentially altered in the IgAN group compared with the control group. Five upregulated tsRNAs (tRF-Val-AAC-007, tRF-Ala-AGC-063, tRF-Gln-CTG-010, tRF-Tyr-GTA-011 and tRF-Thr-AGT-007) and 3 downregulated tsRNAs (tiRNA-Val-TAC-004, tRF-Gly-CCC-005 and tRF-His-GTG-006) were selected for validation by qRT-PCR; the results were consistent with the sequencing data. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis revealed that the target genes predicted by upregulated tsRNAs were mostly enriched in "nucleic acid metabolic process,' "intracellular part,' and "ion binding,' whereas the target genes predicted by downregulated tsRNAs were mostly enriched in "regulation of cellular component organization,' "membrane-bound organelle,' and "ion binding.' Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis revealed that the target genes predicted by upregulated tsRNAs were mostly enriched in "herpes simplex virus 1 infection,' whereas the target genes predicted by downregulated tsRNAs were mostly enriched in "circadian rhythm
conclusions: The present study confirmed the differential expression of tsRNAs in patients with IgAN, and these dysregulated tsRNAs might be novel potential targets for the diagnosis and treatment of IgAN.
