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
introductionBronchial asthma (BA) is a heterogeneous disease characterized by chronic airway inflammation. This study investigated the serum miR-27a-3p/activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) expression in children with BA and their correlations with airway inflammation.
methodsChildren with BA (N = 120) and healthy children (N = 108) were enrolled. Serum levels of interleukin (IL)-17, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, immunoglobulin E (IgE), miR-27a-3p, ATF3, and the number of eosinophils (EOS) were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), and an automatic hematology analyzer. The correlations between miR-27a-3p and ATF3 and between miR-27a-3p/ATF3 and inflammation-related factors were analyzed by the Pearson method. The diagnostic values of miR-27a-3p and ATF3 in BA were evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. The influencing factors of BA were assessed using multivariate logistic regression. Finally, the targeting relation between miR-27a-3p and ATF3 was predicted and analyzed by TargetScan and Starbase databases, and dual-luciferase assay.
resultsThere were significant differences in forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1)% predicted and FEV1/forced vital capacity (FVC)%, serum levels of IgE, IL-17, IL-6, and TNF-α, and EOS numbers between healthy children and BA children. Serum miR-27a-3p was negatively correlated with ATF3 and positively correlated with inflammation-related factors in BA children. Serum ATF3 mRNA levels were negatively correlated with inflammatory factors in BA children. miR-27a-3p and ATF3 had good diagnostic values in BA children. FEV% predicted, IL-6, TNF-α, miR-27a-3p, and ATF3 were independent risk factors for BA. miR-27a-3p targeted ATF3.
conclusionSerum miR-27a-3p was highly expressed, whereas ATF3 was poorly expressed in BA children, and they were significantly correlated with airway inflammation, had good diagnostic values in BA children, and were independent risk factors for asthma.
