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

Artificial microRNA (amiRNA) has recently become an important RNA interference (RNAi) technology for gene therapy and gene function studies. Here nine expression strategies were employed to construct plasmid vectors expressing amiRNA (amiR-Fluc) against firefly luciferase (Fluc). Our results indicate that all nine vectors can successfully produce mature amiR-Fluc and specifically suppress the expression of Fluc, although the RNAi efficiency in different mammalian cells displays obvious differences. Among these nine vectors, three can efficiently co-express DsRed reporter gene linked with amiR-Fluc cassette. Moreover, the recommended number of concatenated amiRNAs in a multi-amiRNA expression vector should not be more than four, and the relative position of an amiRNA in the multi-amiRNA expression vector has no apparent influence on its RNAi activity. In summary, all these results described here provide valuable information for the rational design and application of amiRNA expression vector.
