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

We have examined the use of RNA interference as a means of downregulating gene expression and provide the first comparison of shRNA and artificial miRNA constructs for transgenic livestock. Several in vitro assays were performed to identify the most effective RNAi constructs. shRNA and miRNA constructs achieved significant downregulation of two porcine target genes: the milk whey protein beta-lactoglobulin and the tumour suppressor p53. Results of different assays were, however, sometimes at variance, indicating that no one assay can be relied upon to predict the effectiveness of an RNAi construct. Our findings are that screening of RNAi constructs is most informative if carried out in primary cells that express the target gene and are competent for somatic cell nuclear transfer. Importantly, the use of miRNA constructs makes tissue specific gene knockdown in large animals a realistic possibility.
