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

In Drosophila melanogaster, the iab-4/iab-8 locus encodes bi-directionally transcribed microRNAs that regulate the function of flanking Hox transcription factors. We show that bi-directional transcription, temporal and spatial expression patterns and Hox regulatory function of the iab-4/iab-8 locus are conserved between fly and the beetle Tribolium castaneum. Computational predictions suggest iab-4 and iab-8 microRNAs can target common sites, and cell-culture assays confirm that iab-4 and iab-8 function overlaps on Hox target sites in both fly and beetle. However, we observe key differences in the way Hox genes are targeted. For instance, abd-A transcripts are targeted only by iab-8 in Drosophila, whereas both iab-4 and iab-8 bind to Tribolium abd-A. Our evolutionary and functional characterization of a bi-directionally transcribed microRNA establishes the iab-4/iab-8 system as a model for understanding how multiple products from sense and antisense microRNAs target common sites.
