Vitamin D and miRNA-155 in Behçet's Disease: Possible Association with the Disease and Disease Activity.
Article in Reports of biochemistry & molecular biology, 2023. 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
Background: Vitamin D (vit D) controls inflammation and immunity. In Behçet's disease (BD), microRNA-155 is recognized as a significant immune response regulator. We aimed to investigate the role of vit D on immunomodulation and downregulation of inflammatory pathways associated with BD and detect the role of miRNA-155 in BD. Methods: miRNA-155 expression by Real Time -Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR), and vit D, nuclear factor Kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB), and Tumor necrosis fact of TNF-α) expression by Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) were assessed. Results: BD patients had a significantly higher relative expression of microRNA-155 (P< 0.001), it was significantly related to vascular manifestations (P< 0.001). Vit D relative expression was significantly low in BD (P< 0.001). There was a significant rise in miRNA-155 in the active group compared to the inactive group (P< 0.001). A significant decrease in vit D levels (IU) was found in inactive and active individuals suffering from BD when compared to controls (P< 0.001). A significant rise was found in vit D levels in inactive BD cases (P< 0.001). A significant positive correlations were found between miRNA-155, NF-κB, TNF-α, and negative correlations with vit D relative expression in BD patients. Conclusions: miRNA-155 relative expression is higher in BD is significantly related to vascular manifestations. It may have a relationship to disease activity. Vitamin D relative expression is significantly low in BD patients, which can significantly influence immunomodulatory BD therapy. Vitamin D deficiency linked to active BD.
