Inflammatory Cell Composition and Immune-Related microRNA Signature of Temporal Artery Biopsies From Patients With Giant Cell Arteritis.
Article in Frontiers in immunology, 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
Objectives: The aim of this study was to quantitatively assess distinct immune cell subsets comprising inflammatory infiltrate in temporal artery biopsies (TABs) from patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA), and to link the obtained histopathological data with expression profiles of immune-related microRNAs (miRNAs). Methods: The study included 68 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded TABs from treatment-naïve patients, including 30 histologically positive GCA and 16 negative GCA TABs, and 22 control non-GCA TABs. Quantitative assessment of histological parameters was performed using histopathological and immunohistochemical techniques. miRNA expression analysis was performed by quantitative real-time PCR. Results: Intense transmural mononuclear inflammatory infiltrates in TAB-positive GCA arteries were predominantly composed of CD3 Conclusion: Overall, we demonstrated that an altered arterial tissue-specific pro-inflammatory miRNA signature favors enhanced T cell-driven inflammation and macrophage activity in TAB-positive GCA arteries. Moreover, dysregulation of several immune-related miRNAs seems to contribute crucially to GCA pathogenesis, through impairing their regulatory activity towards T cell-mediated immune responses driven by the calcineurin (CaN)/NFAT signaling pathway, indicating their therapeutic, diagnostic and prognostic potential.
