Side-Directed Release of Differential Extracellular Vesicle-associated microRNA Profiles from Bronchial Epithelial Cells of Healthy and Asthmatic Subjects.
Article in Biomedicines, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are released by virtually all cells and may serve as intercellular communication structures by transmitting molecules such as proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids between cells. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are an abundant class of vesicular RNA playing a pivotal role in regulating intracellular processes. In this work, we aimed to characterize vesicular miRNA profiles released in a side-directed manner by bronchial epithelial cells from healthy and asthmatic subjects using an air-liquid interface cell culture model. EVs were isolated from a culture medium collected from either the basolateral or apical cell side of the epithelial cell cultures and characterized by nano-flow cytometry (NanoFCM) and bead-based flow cytometry. EV-associated RNA profiles were assessed by small RNA sequencing and subsequent bioinformatic analyses. Furthermore, miRNA-associated functions and targets were predicted and miRNA network analyses were performed. EVs were released at higher numbers to the apical cell side of the epithelial cells and were considerably smaller in the apical compared to the basolateral compartment. EVs from both compartments showed a differential tetraspanins surface marker expression. Furthermore, 236 miRNAs were differentially expressed depending on the EV secretion side, regardless of the disease phenotype. On the apical cell side, 32 miRNAs were significantly altered in asthmatic versus healthy conditions, while on the basolateral cell side, 23 differentially expressed miRNAs could be detected. Downstream KEGG pathway analysis predicted mTOR and MAPK signaling pathways as potential downstream targets of apically secreted miRNAs. In contrast, miRNAs specifically detected at the basolateral side were associated with processes of T and B cell receptor signaling. The study proves a compartmentalized packaging of EVs by bronchial epithelial cells supposedly associated with site-specific functions of cargo miRNAs, which are considerably affected by disease conditions such as asthma.
