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

Although generally regarded as functional in the cytoplasm, a number of microRNAs (miRNAs) have been found in the nucleus, possibly with a role in gene regulation. Here we report that, in fact, a substantial fraction of all human miRNAs are present in the nucleus of neural stem cells. Further, subsets of these miRNAs display consistently higher standardized rank in the nucleus than in the cytoplasm of these cells, as identified with an RT-qPCR technology and confirmed by microarray analysis. Likewise, other miRNAs display higher cytoplasmic standardized ranks. Three samples were partitioned into nuclear and cytoplasmic fractions in six assays for 373 miRNAs. From the 100 most highly expressed miRNAs, standard scores of nuclear and cytoplasmic concentrations were determined. Among those, 21 miRNAs had all three nuclear standard scores higher than all three cytoplasmic scores; likewise, 31 miRNAs had consistently higher cytoplasmic scores. Random concentrations would result in only five in each set. Remarkably, if one miRNA has a high standard score in a compartment, then other miRNAs having the same 5' seeds and certain similar 3' end patterns are also highly scored in the same way. That is, in addition to the seed sequence, 3' sequence similarity criteria identify families of mature miRNAs with consistently high nuclear or cytoplasmic expression.
