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

In higher plants, microRNA (miRNA) is involved in regulation of developmental processes, including sexual organ development. Seven novel miRNA families with one known miRNA were isolated by constructing a small RNA library from a mixture of anther from a cytoplasmic male sterile line and its maintainer. Two miRNAs are conserved in plant species. A total of 18 potential targets were identified for the eight miRNA families, including 15 proteins annotated with function and three unknown proteins. The known proteins include several proteins relevant to cell structure and stress response, transcription factors, and enzymes associated with metabolic and signaling pathways, playing important roles in microspore development. Quantitative real-time PCR assay revealed different expression patterns of the miRNAs between the cytoplasmic male sterile line and its maintainer. Each of the miRNAs tended to be down-regulated after the tetrad stage in a fertile line. However, most of the miRNAs in the cytoplasmic male sterile line were shown to be up-regulated from the tetrad to mononuclear stage, displaying special expression patterns differing from the ones in fertile line. We conclude that additional inactive miRNA pathways are essential during pollen development for a fertile line to ensure male fertility. Contrarily, miRNAs are up-regulated during the period from the tetrad to mononuclear stage, which contributes to pollen abortion for a cytoplasmic male sterile line.
