Abnormal regulation of microRNAs and related genes in pediatric β-thalassemia.
Article in Journal of clinical laboratory analysis, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundMicroRNAs (miRNAs) participate in the reactivation of γ-globin expression in β-thalassemia. However, the miRNA transcriptional profiles of pediatric β-thalassemia remain unclear. Accordingly, in this study, we assessed miRNA expression in pediatric patients with β-thalassemia.
methodsDifferentially expressed miRNAs in pediatric patients with β-thalassemia were determined using microRNA sequencing.
resultsHsa-miR-483-3p, hsa-let-7f-1-3p, hsa-let-7a-3p, hsa-miR-543, hsa-miR-433-3p, hsa-miR-4435, hsa-miR-329-3p, hsa-miR-92b-5p, hsa-miR-6747-3p and hsa-miR-495-3p were significantly upregulated, whereas hsa-miR-4508, hsa-miR-20a-5p, hsa-let-7b-5p, hsa-miR-93-5p, hsa-let-7i-5p, hsa-miR-6501-5p, hsa-miR-221-3p, hsa-let-7g-5p, hsa-miR-106a-5p, and hsa-miR-17-5p were significantly downregulated in pediatric patients with β-thalassemia. After integrating our data with a previously published dataset, we found that hsa-let-7b-5p and hsa-let-7i-5p expression levels were also lower in adolescent or adult patients with β-thalassemia. The predicted target genes of hsa-let-7b-5p and hsa-let-7i-5p were associated with the transforming growth factor β receptor, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/AKT, FoxO, Hippo, and mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathways. We also identified 12 target genes of hsa-let-7a-3p and hsa-let-7f-1-3p and 21 target genes of hsa-let-7a-3p and hsa-let-7f-1-3p, which were differentially expressed in patients with β-thalassemia. Finally, we found that hsa-miR-190-5p and hsa-miR-1278-5p may regulate hemoglobin switching by modulation of the B-cell lymphoma/leukemia 11A gene.
conclusionThe results of the study show that several microRNAs are dysregulated in pediatric β-thalassemia. Further, the results also indicate toward a critical role of let7 miRNAs in the pathogenesis of pediatric β-thalassemia, which needs to be investigated further.
