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

Variations in microRNA (miRNA) gene and/or target repertoire are likely to be key drivers of phenotypic differences between species. To better understand these changes, we developed a computational method that identifies signatures of species-specific target site gain and loss associated with miRNA acquisition. Interestingly, several of the miRNAs implicated in mouse 3' UTR evolution derive from a single rapidly expanded rodent-specific miRNA cluster. Located in the intron of Sfmbt2, a maternally imprinted polycomb gene, these miRNAs (referred to as the Sfmbt2 cluster) are expressed in both embryonic stem cells and the placenta. One abundant miRNA from the cluster, miR-467a, functionally overlaps with the mir-290-295 cluster in promoting growth and survival of mouse embryonic stem cells. Predicted novel targets of the remaining cluster members are enriched in pathways regulating cell survival. Two relevant species-specific target candidates, Lats2 and Dedd2, were validated in cultured cells. We suggest that the rapid evolution of the Sfmbt2 cluster may be a result of intersex conflict for growth regulation in early mammalian development and could provide a general model for the genomic response to acquisition of miRNAs and similar regulatory factors.
