The μ-opioid receptor induces miR-21 expression and is ERK/PKCμ-dependent.

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
Micro RNA-21 (miR-21) is believed to perform an important role in the transition from inflammation to resolution in the innate immune response. The biochemical basis for the induction of miR-21 remains uncertain. However, the activation of the μ-opioid receptor (MOR) induces the expression of miR-21. Our results show that human monocytes treated with μ-opioid agonists exhibit a significant increase in miR-21 expression. We found that MOR-induction of miR-21 requires the activation of the Ras-Raf-MEK-ERK signaling cascade, and to our surprise, the activation of PKCμ (PKD1). These results are significant given the role of miR-21 in the sensitivity to pain.
