Dual regulation of miR-375 and CREM genes in pancreatic beta cells.
Article in Islets, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
MicroRNA-375 (miR-375) is upregulated in the islets of some diabetics and is correlated with poor outcome. Previous work in our laboratory showed that cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) reduces miR-375 expression and could provide a way to restore normal miR-375 levels, however the transcription repression mechanism is unknown. Using a chromatin immunoprecipitation assay we show that cAMP response element modulator (CREM) binds to the miR-375 promoter 3-fold above background and we find that CREM represses transcription from the miR-375 promoter 1.8-fold. While investigating miR-375 target genes we discovered that several microRNA:mRNA target prediction algorithms listed human CREM as a target gene of miR-375. The predicted binding site is conserved in primates but not in other species. We found that indeed miR-375 binds to the predicted site on human CREM and represses translation of a green fluorescent protein reporter gene by 30%. These findings suggest a primate-specific double-negative feedback loop, a mechanism that would keep these important β-cell regulators in check.
