Capsaicin diet drives gut inflammation and exosomal miR-17-3p elevation in idiopathic short stature.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. 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
Idiopathic short stature (ISS) remains a major pediatric challenge with unclear causes and inconsistent responses to growth hormone therapy. Here we show that plasma exosomes from children with ISS contain elevated hsa-miR-17-3p that disrupts growth signaling and impairs cartilage cell proliferation. Elevated miR-17-3p suppresses ZNF148/SOS1 signaling, linking molecular dysfunction to dietary exposure in ISS. To investigate environmental triggers, we developed a capsaicin-rich diet rat model that recapitulates ISS, showing normal Gh/Igf-1 levels but elevated plasma miR-17-3p. The diet induced mild gut inflammation, increasing miR-17-3p in intestinal and plasma exosomes. Fecal samples from ISS children exhibited similar elevations in miR-17-3p and inflammatory markers, linking spicy diets to ISS pathogenesis. Finally, engineered exosomes designed to silence miR-17-3p, combined with localized growth hormone therapy, restored growth plate function. These findings uncover a diet-driven exosome axis underlying ISS and suggest new therapeutic strategies for children in high-capsaicin regions.
