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

The discovery of host-microRNA (miRNA) targets in the genomes of many vertebrate viruses indicates that the corresponding miRNAs are a part of the host's innate antiviral defense. However, given that viruses evolve much faster than host miRNAs, it is surprising that viral variants lacking these 'antiviral' miRNA target sequences have not become established. We present an alternate view that miRNAs are among the host molecules that viruses co-opt to suppress their own replication to evade immune elimination and establish a persistent infection. The presence of host-miRNA targets in the genomes of rapidly evolving viruses probably reflects the adaptation of these viruses to the cellular miRNA milieu.
