MicroRNA-30c attenuates fibrosis progression and vascular dysfunction in systemic sclerosis model mice.
Article in Molecular biology reports, 2021. 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
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is characterized by peripheral circulatory disturbance and fibrosis in skin and visceral organs. We recently demonstrated that α2-antiplasmin (α2AP) is elevated in SSc dermal fibroblasts and SSc model mice, and is associated with fibrosis progression and vascular dysfunction. In the present study, we predicted that α2AP could be a target of microRNA-30c (miR-30c) using TargetScan online database, and investigated the effect of miR-30c on the pathogenesis of SSc using a bleomycin-induced SSc model mice. miR-30c attenuated α2AP expression, and prevented the pro-fibrotic changes (increased dermal thickness, collagen deposition, myofibroblast accmulation) and the vascular dysfunction (the reduction of vascular endothelial cells (ECs) and blood flow) in the skin of SSc model mice. Furthermore, miR-30c suppressed pulmonary fibrosis progression in the SSc model mice. miR-30c exerts the anti-fibrotic and anti-angiopathy effects on SSc model mice, and might provide a basis for clinical strategies for SSc.
