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

RNA interference (RNAi) efficiently induces sequence-specific gene silencing in mammalian cells through short interfering RNA (siRNA) of 21-23 nucleotides synthesized in vitro or expressed by DNA-based vector. However, introduction of siRNA into mammalian cells by transfection limits the application of RNAi, especially when it is necessary to generate long-term gene silencing in vivo. Virus vector-mediated RNAi provides an alternative to transfection. In the present study, we investigated such transduction system and showed that retrovirus vector-mediated RNAi can substantially down-regulate expression of mouse adult beta-globin gene in MEL cells. The results suggest that retrovirus vector-delivered RNAi may find its use in functional genomics and in gene therapy.
