miR-154-5p Is a Novel Endogenous Ligand for TLR7 Inducing Microglial Activation and Neuronal Injury.
Article in Cells, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a collection of pattern recognition sensors that form a first line of defence by detecting pathogen- or damage-associated molecular patterns and initiating an inflammatory response. TLR activation in microglia, the major immune cells in the brain, can trigger the release of inflammatory molecules, which may contribute to various CNS diseases including Alzheimer's disease. Recently, some microRNAs were shown to serve as signalling molecules for TLRs. Here, we present miR-154-5p as a novel TLR7 ligand. Exposing microglia to miR-154-5p results in cytokine release and alters expression of the TLR signalling pathway dependent on TLR7. Additionally, miR-154-5p causes neuronal injury in enriched cortical neuron cultures and additive toxicity in the presence of microglia. Finally, intrathecal injection of miR-154-5p into mice leads to neuronal injury and accumulation of microglia in the cerebral cortex dependent on TLR7 expression. In conclusion, this study establishes miR-154-5p as a direct activator of TLR7 that can cause neuroinflammation and neuronal injury, which may contribute to CNS disease.
