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

MicroRNAs (miRNA) are a group of small noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression. The discovery of these small RNAs has added a new layer of complexity to molecular biology. Every day, new advances are being made in understanding the biochemistry and genetics of miRNAs and their roles in cellular function and homeostasis. Studies indicate diverse roles for miRNAs in inner ear biology and pathogenesis. This article reviews recent developments in miRNA research in the field of inner ear biology. A brief history of miRNA discovery is discussed, and their genomics and functional roles are described. Advances in the understanding of miRNA involvement in inner ear development in the zebrafish and the mouse are presented. Finally, this review highlights the potential roles of miRNAs in genetic hearing loss, hair cell regeneration, and inner ear pathogenesis resulting from various pathological insults.
