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

RNA silencing processes use exogenous or endogenous RNA molecules to specifically and robustly regulate gene expression. In C. elegans, initial mechanistic descriptions of the different silencing processes focused on posttranscriptional regulation. In this review, we discuss recent work showing that, in this model organism, RNA silencing also controls the transcription of target genes by inducing heterochromatin formation. Specifically, it has been shown that ribonucleoprotein complexes containing small RNAs, either processed from exogenous dsRNA or synthesized from the genome itself, and proteins of the Argonaute family, mediate the deposition of repressive histone marks at the targeted loci. Interestingly, the accumulation of repressive marks is required for the inheritance of the silencing effect and the establishment of an epigenetic memory that discriminates self- from non-self-RNAs.
