miR-499a rs3746444 A>G Polymorphism Is Correlated with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Diabetic Polyneuropathy in a Romanian Cohort: A Preliminary Study.
Article in Genes, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a common metabolic disorder that results from complex interactions of both environmental and genetic factors. Many single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), including noncoding RNA genes, have been investigated for their association with susceptibility to T2DM and its complications, with little evidence available regarding Caucasians. The aim of the present study was to establish whether four miRNA SNPs (miR-27a rs895819 T>C, miR-146a rs2910164 G>C, miR-196a2 rs11614913 C>T, and miR-499a rs3746444 A>G) are correlated with susceptibility to T2DM and/or diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) in a Romanian population. A total of 167 adult T2DM patients and 324 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were included in our study. miRNA SNPs were detected by real-time PCR using a TaqMan genotyping assay. A significant association with T2DM was observed only for the miR-499a rs3746444 A>G SNP in all the tested models, and the frequencies of both the miR-499a rs3746444 AG and the GG genotypes were higher in the T2DM patients compared to the controls. No correlation was observed for the miR-27a rs895819 T>C, miR-146a rs2910164 G>C, or miR-196a2 rs11614913 C>T SNPs in any genetic model. When we assessed the association of these SNPs with DPN separately, we found a positive association for the miR-499a rs3746444 SNP in both codominant and dominant models (OR 6.47, 95% CI: 1.71-24.47; OR 2.30, 95% CI: 1.23-4.29, respectively). In conclusion, this study shows that miR-499a rs3746444 A>G may influence both T2DM and DPN susceptibility, with carriers of the GG genotype and the G allele being at an increased risk in the Romanian population.
