MicroRNAs Associated with Chronic Mucus Hypersecretion in COPD Are Involved in Fibroblast-Epithelium Crosstalk.
Article in Cells, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
We recently identified microRNAs (miRNAs) associated with chronic mucus hypersecretion (CMH) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which were expressed in both airway epithelial cells and fibroblasts. We hypothesized that these miRNAs are involved in communication between fibroblasts and epithelium, contributing to airway remodeling and CMH in COPD. Primary bronchial epithelial cells (PBECs) differentiated at the air-liquid interface, and airway fibroblasts (PAFs) from severe COPD patients with CMH were cultured alone or together. RNA was isolated and miRNA expression assessed. miRNAs differentially expressed after co-culturing were studied functionally using overexpression with mimics in mucus-expressing human lung A549 epithelial cells or normal human lung fibroblasts. In PBECs, we observed higher miR-708-5pexpression upon co-culture with fibroblasts, and miR-708-5p expression decreased upon mucociliary differentiation. In PAFs, let-7a-5p, miR-31-5p and miR-146a-5p expression was significantly increased upon co-culture. miR-708-5p overexpression suppressed mucin 5AC (MUC5AC) secretion in A549, while let-7a-5poverexpression suppressed its target gene
