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

We have been developing a unique system for the downregulation of a gene expression through cutting a specific mRNA by the long form of tRNA 3'-processing endoribonuclease (tRNase Z(L)) under the direction of small-guide RNA (sgRNA). However, the efficacy of this system and the involvement of tRNase Z(L) in the living cells were not clear. Here we show, by targeting the exogenous luciferase gene, that the efficacy of the sgRNA/tRNase Z(L) method can become comparable to that of the RNA interference technology and that the gene silencing is owing to tRNase Z(L) directed by sgRNA not owing to a simple antisense effect. We also show that tRNase Z(L) together with sgRNA can downregulate expression of the endogenous human genes Bcl-2 and glycogen synthase kinase-3beta by degrading their mRNAs in cell culture. Furthermore, we demonstrate that a gene expression in the livers of postnatal mice can be inhibited by an only seven-nucleotide sgRNA. These data suggest that sgRNA might be utilized as therapeutic agents to treat diseases such as cancers and AIDS.
