Adipose tissue-derived microRNAs as epigenetic modulators of type 2 diabetes.
Article in BMC medicine, 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
backgroundWhite adipose tissue (WAT) dysfunction including an aberrant expression of miRNAs is strongly associated with the risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D), with limited evidence linking early changes in the WAT-derived miRNAs and T2D. The present study aims to identify early miRNome changes prognostic for T2D in mice and humans.
methodsGonadal (g) WAT of diabetes-resistant and diabetes-prone mice were subjected to multi-omics analyses (transcriptome, miRNome, methylome, proteome). Metabolic phenotypes linked with T2D were correlated with adipose tissue miRNA expression and DNA methylation from 14 monozygotic twin pairs discordant for T2D. Plasma miRNA levels from females at high risk of developing T2D (TÜF study) were included.
resultsAdipose tissue of the diabetes-susceptible mice was less insulin sensitive with ~ 200 differentially expressed mature miRNAs compared to diabetes-resistant mice. Integrative analysis of miRNome-transcriptome-proteome identified 227 proteins involved in amino acid metabolism, inflammation, signalling pathways, and insulin resistance. More than 20 differentially expressed miRNAs are located in the imprinted region Dlk1-Gtl2 and Mest (miR-335) potentially regulated by DNA methylation. Imprinted miRNAs also exhibited similar alterations in adipose tissue from monozygotic twin pairs discordant for T2D, with miR-335 expression altered only in females. Moreover, plasma levels of miR-335-5p were negatively correlated with fasting blood glucose in females at high risk of developing T2D.
conclusionsEarly alterations of WAT-derived miRNAs such as miR-335-5p could contribute to systemic metabolic changes associated with the risk of developing T2D.
