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

Originally discovered in C. elegans, microRNAs (miRNAs) are small RNAs that regulate fundamental cellular processes in diverse organisms. MiRNAs are encoded within the genome and are initially transcribed as primary transcripts that can be several kilobases in length. Primary transcripts are successively cleaved by two RNase III enzymes, Drosha in the nucleus and Dicer in the cytoplasm, to produce ∼70 nucleotide (nt) long precursor miRNAs and 22 nt long mature miRNAs, respectively. Mature miRNAs regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally by imperfectly binding target mRNAs in association with the multiprotein RNA induced silencing complex (RISC). The conserved sequence, expression pattern, and function of some miRNAs across distinct species as well as the importance of specific miRNAs in many biological pathways have led to an explosion in the study of miRNA biogenesis, miRNA target identification, and miRNA target regulation. Many advances in our understanding of miRNA biology have come from studies in the powerful model organism C. elegans. This chapter reviews the current methods used in C. elegans to study miRNA biogenesis, small RNA populations, miRNA-protein complexes, and miRNA target regulation.
