1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Transgenes and endogenous genes are sensitive to silencing, in particular when the genes are tandemly repeated. Their expression can be transcriptionally or post-transcriptionally repressed, or both. It is remarkable that very often, two or more genes or parts of the genes are arranged as inverted repeats (IR). Many of such IRs are dominant silencing loci. They can repress the expression of homologous genes elsewhere in the genome in trans which is usually associated with an increase in the level of DNA methylation. Trans-silencing has been explained by DNA-DNA pairing between a repetitive silencing locus and a homologous target locus. However, there is accumulating evidence that the trans effect might be mediated by dsRNA transcribed from the IR (trans)genes. Besides dsRNA-directed DNA methylation, dsRNA in plants as well as in other systems also induces the degradation of homologous RNAs and silence genes post-transcriptionally. These findings indicate that several features associated with gene silencing can be attributed to the activities of dsRNA, which would explain why inverted transgene repeats are such efficient silencing loci.
