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

Viral small interfering RNA (siRNA) accumulation in plants is reported to exhibit a strong strand polarity bias, with plus (+) strand siRNAs dominating over minus (-) strand populations. This is of particular interest, as siRNAs processed from double-stranded RNA would be expected to accumulate equivalent amounts of both species. Here, we show that, as reported, (-) strand viral siRNAs are detected at much lower levels than (+) strand-derived species using standard Northern hybridization approaches. However, when total RNA is spiked with in vitro-transcribed antisense viral genomic RNA, (-) strand viral siRNAs are detected at increased levels equivalent to those of (+) strand siRNA. Our results suggest that (+) and (-) strand viral siRNAs accumulate to equivalent levels; however, a proportion of the (-) strand siRNAs are sequestered from the total detectable small RNA population during gel electrophoresis by hybridizing to the high-molecular-weight sense strand viral genomic RNA. Our findings provide a plausible explanation for the observed strand bias of viral siRNA accumulation, and could have wider implications in the analysis of both viral and nonviral small RNA accumulation.
