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

Chemical modification of RNA duplexes can provide practical advantages for RNA interference (RNAi) triggering molecules including increased stability, safety and specificity. The impact of nucleotide modifications on Dicer processing, RISC loading and RNAi-mediated mRNA cleavage was investigated with duplexes >or=25 bp in length. It is known that dsRNAs >or=25 bp are processed by Dicer to create classic 19-bp siRNAs with 3'-end overhangs. We demonstrate that the presence of minimal modification configurations on longer RNA duplexes can block Dicer processing and result in the loading of the full-length guide strand into RISC with resultant mRNA cleavage at a defined site. These longer, modified duplexes can be highly potent gene silencers, with EC50s in the picomolar concentration range, demonstrating that Dicer processing is not required for incorporation into RISC or potent target silencing.
