MiRNA-221-5p suppressed the Th17/Treg ratio in asthma via RORγt/Foxp3 by targeting SOCS1.
Article in Allergy, asthma, and clinical immunology : official journal of the Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2021. 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
backgroundThis study was designed to investigate the mechanism and effects of miRNA-221-5p on the T-helper 17 (Th17)/T-regulatory (Treg) ratio in asthma.
methodsBALB/c mice were intranasally challenged with 100 µg OVA on 14 and 21 day. Mice were rechallenged with 2.5% OVA-PBS on 22 and 28 day. Mice were sacrificed using on day 30 under 35 mg/kg pentobarbital sodium. PBMCs were induced vitro model of asthma using 500 ng of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) for 4 h.
resultsThe expression of miRNA-221-5p was reduced in in vivo model, compared sham group. The vitro model of asthma treated with miRNA-221-5p mimic resulted in the reduction of IL-6, IL-17, IL-21 and IL-22 levels, and induction of IL-10, IL-35 and TGF-β levels. In addition, down-regulation of miRNA-221-5p induced the protein expression of suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1) and receptor-related orphan receptor-gamma-t (RORγt) and suppressed that of FOXP3 in in vitro model of asthma. Over-expression of miRNA-221-5p induced the protein expression of FOXP3, and suppressed that of SOCS1 and RORγt in in vitro model of asthma. The inhibition of SOCS1 or RORγt attenuated the effects of anti-miRNA-221-5p on Th17/Treg ratio in asthma.
conclusionmiRNA-221-5p may play critical roles in driving the differentiation of Th17/Treg ratio via RORγt/Foxp3 by Targeting SOCS1, reduced the function of Th17 cells by directly inhibiting RORγt/SOCS1 and promoted the function of Treg cells via Foxp3/ SOCS1 in asthma.
