Expression profiling of Epstein-Barr virus-derived microRNA in systemic chronic active EBV disease.

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
Systemic chronic active Epstein-Barr virus disease (sCAEBV) is an intractable disorder characterized by clonal proliferation of EBV-infected T- and NK-cells, leading to persistent systemic inflammation and progression to hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). The EBV genome encodes 40 mature microRNAs known as miR-BARTs. The expression of miR-BARTs has been reported in other EBV-positive diseases and is associated with tumorigenesis. In this study, we investigated the expression of miR-BARTs in sCAEBV. Expression of miR-BARTs was highly abundant in 4 sCAEBV-derived EBV-positive T- or NK-cell lines and in EBV-infected T- or NK-cells from 23 sCAEBV patients. The highest expression levels were observed for miR-BART7-3p. Sequence analysis revealed no deletions in the EBV genome encoding miR-BARTs. Inhibition of miR-BART7-3p altered the expression of immune-related genes in sCAEBV-derived cell lines. Abundant miR-BART expression was also observed in patients' plasma, with miR-BART7-3p showing the highest levels. Notably, miR-BART7-3p expression was detected in macrophages within the spleen of an sCAEBV patient with HLH. These findings suggest that miR-BARTs are highly expressed and secreted by EBV-infected cells in sCAEBV. We hypothesize that secreted miR-BARTs may be taken up by monocytes, potentially regulating their functions and contributing to inflammation in sCAEBV. Further studies are needed to elucidate these mechanisms.
