MicroRNA expression profiling of urine exosomes in children with congenital cytomegalovirus infection.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) infection can damage the central nervous system in infants; however, its prognosis cannot be predicted from clinical evaluations at the time of birth. Urinary exosomes can be used to analyze neuronal damage in neuronal diseases. To investigate the extent of neuronal damage in patients with cCMV, exosomal miRNA expression in the urine was investigated in cCMV-infected infants and controls. Microarray analysis of miRNA was performed in a cohort of 30 infants, including 11 symptomatic cCMV (ScCMV), 7 asymptomatic cCMV (AScCMV), and one late-onset ScCMV cases, and 11 healthy controls (HC). Hierarchical clustering analysis revealed the distinct expression profile of ScCMV. The patient with late-onset ScCMV was grouped into the ScCMV cluster. Pathway enrichment analysis of the target mRNAs differed significantly between the ScCMV and HC groups; this analysis also revealed that pathways related to brain development were linked to upregulated pathways. Six miRNAs that significantly different between groups (ScCMV vs. HC and ScCMV vs. AScCMV) were selected for digital PCR in another cohort for further validation. Although these six miRNAs seemed insufficient for predicting ScCMV, expression profiles of urine exosomal miRNAs can reveal neurological damage in patients with ScCMV compared to those with AcCMV or healthy infants.
