MicroRNA-203 Expression as Potential Biomarker for Lupus Nephritis.
Article in International journal of nephrology and renovascular disease, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction and Purpose: Lupus nephritis (LN) is the main cause of morbidity and mortality in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients, therefore the discovery of new biomarkers, which are reliable for the diagnosis of NL is necessary. Various studies have reported alteration of some miRNAs expression in LN, that considered as biomarkers and/or therapeutic targets in LN. MicroRNA-203 has been associated with the development of nephritis in SLE patients, playing an important role in the initiation and progression of the disease, but research on circulating miRNA-203 expression in LN in clinical practice is still very limited. The aim of this study was to prove the role of microRNA-203 in LN. Patients and Methods: Serum was obtained from 40 participants consisting of 20 SLE patients and 20 LN patients. The diagnostic of SLE and LN was based on the ACR 1997 criteria. MicroRNA-203 expression was determined by real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Statistical analysis was performed with Mann-Whitney test. Results: The expression of miRNA-203 in the SLE group was 1.66 (0.00-8.64) and in the NL group was 5.18 (0.25-49.84). There were significant differences in microRNA-203 expression between SLE and LN patients (p=0.003). Conclusion: MicroRNA-203 expression might be associated with nephritis manifestations in SLE patients.
