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

RNA interference (RNAi) is the process of sequence-specific posttranslational gene silencing triggered by double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs). RNAi is a widely used approach for studying gene function. However, studies have shown that using siRNA can lead to off-target effects when the siRNA contains sufficient sequence identity to non-target mRNA sequences. One of the important steps in designing dsRNA is verification that it has sequence identity to only the target mRNA. In this report, we propose an approach for primary screening dsRNAs for potential off-target effects by using rapid amplification of cDNA ends. This method can be especially useful for model systems using species that have limited availability of sequence data.
