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

Short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) are widely used to induce RNA interference (RNAi). We tested a variety of shRNAs that differed in stem length and terminal loop size and revealed strikingly different RNAi activities and shRNA-processing patterns. Interestingly, we identified a specific shRNA design that uses an alternative Dicer-independent processing pathway. Detailed analyses indicated that a short shRNA stem length is critical for avoiding Dicer processing and activation of the alternative processing route, in which the shRNA is incorporated into RISC and processed by the AGO2-mediated slicer activity. Such alternatively processed shRNAs (AgoshRNAs) yield only a single RNA strand that effectively induces RNAi, whereas conventional shRNA processing results in an siRNA duplex of which both strands can trigger RNAi. Both the processing and subsequent RNAi activity of these AgoshRNAs are thus mediated by the RISC-component AGO2. These results have important implications for the future design of more specific RNAi therapeutics.
