Role of miR-9 in Modulating NF-κB Signaling and Cytokine Expression in COVID-19 Patients.
Observational study in International journal of molecular sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has had a significant impact on global health, with severe cases often characterized by a worsening cytokine storm. Since it has been described that the NF-κB signaling pathway, regulated by microRNAs, could play a pivotal role in the inflammatory response, in this study, the role of miR-9 in modulating NF-κB signaling and inflammatory cytokine expression in COVID-19 patients was investigated. This observational retrospective single-center study included 41 COVID-19 patients and 20 healthy controls. Serum samples were analyzed for miR-9, NF-κB, and IκBα expression levels using RT-PCR. The expression levels and production of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α were measured using RT-PCR and ELISA. Statistical analyses, including correlation and regression, were conducted to explore relationships between these variables. COVID-19 patients, particularly non-survivors, exhibited significantly higher miR-9 and NF-κB levels compared to controls. A strong positive correlation was found between miR-9 and NF-κB expression (r = 0.813,
