Dysregulation of miR-103a Mediates Cigarette Smoking-induced Lipid-laden Macrophage Formation.
Article in American journal of respiratory cell and molecular biology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Cigarette smoke (CS) is considered a major risk factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that is currently the third leading cause of death in the United States. Studies have indicated that patients with COPD have elevated blood low-density lipoprotein levels, which may contribute to the dysregulation of lipid metabolism. Accumulating data show that microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in various human diseases. However, the role of microRNAs in the pathogenesis of COPD remains poorly defined. In this study, we found that miR-103a expression was significantly reduced in alveolar macrophages from smokers and patients with COPD versus that in alveolar macrophages from nonsmokers. Our data indicated that reactive oxygen species negatively regulate miR-103a in macrophages. Functionally, miR-103a modulates the expressions of genes involved in lipid metabolism and directly targets low-density lipoprotein receptors in macrophages. Furthermore, overexpression of miR-103a suppressed the accumulation of lipid droplets and reduced the reactive oxygen species, both
