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

The discovery of RNA interference (RNAi) has revolutionized genetic analysis in mammalian cells. Loss-of-function RNAi screens enable rapid, functional annotation of the genome. Of the various RNAi approaches, pooled shRNA libraries have received considerable attention because of their versatility. A number of genome-wide shRNA libraries have been constructed against the human and mouse genomes, and these libraries can be readily applied to a variety of screens to interrogate the function of human and mouse genes in an unbiased fashion. We provide an introduction to the technical aspects of using pooled shRNA libraries for genetic screens.
