Systems Genomics Reveals microRNA Regulation of ICS Response in Childhood Asthma.
Article in Cells, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundAsthmatic patients' responses to inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are variable and difficult to quantify. We have previously defined a Cross-sectional Asthma STEroid Response (CASTER) measure of ICS response. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have shown strong effects on asthma and inflammatory processes.
objectiveThe purpose of this study was to identify key associations between circulating miRNAs and ICS response in childhood asthma.
methodsSmall RNA sequencing in peripheral blood serum from 580 children with asthma on ICS treatment from The Genetics of Asthma in Costa Rica Study (GACRS) was used to identify miRNAs associated with ICS response using generalized linear models. Replication was conducted in children on ICS from the Childhood Asthma Management Program (CAMP) cohort. The association between replicated miRNAs and the transcriptome of lymphoblastoid cell lines in response to a glucocorticoid was assessed.
resultsThe association study on the GACRS cohort identified 36 miRNAs associated with ICS response at 10% false discovery rate (FDR), three of which (miR-28-5p, miR-339-3p, and miR-432-5p) were in the same direction of effect and significant in the CAMP replication cohort. In addition, in vitro steroid response lymphoblastoid gene expression analysis revealed 22 dexamethasone responsive genes were significantly associated with three replicated miRNAs. Furthermore, Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) revealed a significant association between miR-339-3p and two modules (black and magenta) of genes associated with immune response and inflammation pathways.
conclusionThis study highlighted significant association between circulating miRNAs miR-28-5p, miR-339-3p, and miR-432-5p and ICS response. miR-339-3p may be involved in immune dysregulation, which leads to a poor response to ICS treatment.
