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.

Abstract

RNA interference (RNAi) is a natural cellular regulatory process that inhibits gene expression by transcriptional, post-transcriptional and translational mechanisms. Synthetic approaches that emulate this process (small interfering RNA (siRNA), short hairpin RNA (shRNA)) have been shown to be similarly effective in this regard. We developed a novel 'bifunctional' RNAi strategy, which further optimizes target gene knockdown outcome. A bifunctional construct (bi-sh-STMN1) was generated against Stathmin1, a critical tubulin modulator that is overexpressed in human cancers. The bifunctional construct is postulated to concurrently repress the translation of the target mRNA (cleavage-independent, mRNA sequestration and degradation) and degrade (through RNase H-like cleavage) post-transcriptional mRNA through cleavage-dependent activities. Bi-sh-STMN1 showed enhanced potency and durability in parallel comparisons with conventional shRNA and siRNAs targeting the same sequence. Enhanced STMN1 protein knockdown by bi-sh-STMN1 was accompanied by target site cleavage at the mRNA level showed by the rapid amplification of complementary DNA ends (RACE) assay. Bi-sh-STMN1 also showed knockdown kinetics at the mRNA level consistent with its multieffector silencing mechanisms. The bifunctional shRNA is a highly effective and advantageous approach mediating RNAi at concentrations significantly lower than conventional shRNA or siRNA. These results support further evaluations.
