Integrative Analysis Reveals a miRNA-mRNA Regulatory Network and Potential Causative Agents in the Asthmatic Airway Epithelium.

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
backgroundDuring asthma progression, the intricate molecular networks, including microRNA (miRNA) transcriptional regulation in airway epithelium, remain largely undefined. The abnormal expression of miRNAs in asthmatic airway epithelium is a recent and fast-growing area in developing diagnostic and therapeutic targets for asthma. MATERIAL AND
methodsAnalyses were conducted to compare airway epithelial miRNAs and gene expression between patients with asthma and healthy subjects from three datasets (two for miRNAs expression profiles and one for gene expression profile). The interactions network between differentially expressed (DE)-miRNAs and mRNAs was further identified for functional analysis. To verify the involvement and functions of all the identified miRNAs in asthma, we constructed two cellular models of asthma. The most promising causal miRNA candidate, miR-1246, was examined in an in vitro system to explore its targets and roles in asthma pathophysiology.
resultsThrough integrative analysis, we obtained six miRNAs with 31 validated target genes in airway epithelium associated with asthma. Next, we confirmed that these miRNAs were all associated with asthma progression by in vitro functional experiments. They may participate in eosinophilic inflammation (miR-92b-3p, miR-1246, miR-197-3p, and miR-124-5p) or remodeling (miR-197-3p, miR-193a-5p, miR-1246, and miR-92b-3p). Additionally, some other non-screened valuable miRNAs were also examined and identified (miR-21-5p and miR-19b-3p), and some detected in blood correlated with the disease status. Furthermore, we found that miR-1246 could directly target
conclusionWe constructed a preliminary epithelial regulatory network in asthma based on six identified miRNAs and their valuable target genes. Candidate factors in the biological miRNA-mRNA network in airway epithelium may provide further information on the pathogenesis of asthma. Strikingly, among all screened miRNAs, miR-1246, which could interact with
