MicroRNA-103a regulates the calcification of vascular smooth muscle cells by targeting runt-related transcription factor 2 in high phosphorus conditions.
Article in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 2021. 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
Vascular calcification, such as atherosclerosis, is a serious complication of chronic kidney disease that is characterized by tunica media calcification, and has gained increasing attention from researchers. The commonly observed association between vascular calcification and osteoporosis suggests a link between bone and vascular disorders. As microRNAs (miRNAs) have a wide range of gene regulation functions, such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, stress and transdifferentiation, the current study aimed to determine whether miRNAs play a vital role in the calcification and osteoblastic differentiation of rat thoracic aorta vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Gene expression analysis was performed on seven miRNAs (miR-29a, -30b, -103a, -125b, -133a, -143 and -211) that maybe potentially involved in the differentiation of smooth muscle cells into osteoblastic cells. The results showed that the levels of miR-29a, -30b, -103a, -125b and -143 were markedly reduced in the VSMC calcification model, particularly miR-103a, whereas runt-related transcription factor 2 (
