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

backgroundExperimentally validated co-expression correlations between miRNAs and genes are a valuable resource to corroborate observations about miRNA/mRNA changes after experimental perturbations, as well as compare miRNA target predictions with empirical observations. For example, when a given miRNA is transcribed, true targets of that miRNA should tend to have lower expression levels relative to when the miRNA is not expressed.

methodsWe processed publicly available human RNA-seq experiments obtained from NCBI's Sequence Read Archive (SRA) to identify miRNA-mRNA co-expression trends and summarized them in terms of their Pearson's Correlation Coefficient (PCC) and significance.

resultsWe found that sequence-derived parameters from TargetScan and miRanda were predictive of co-expression, and that TargetScan- and miRanda-derived gene-miRNA pairs tend to have anti-correlated expression patterns in RNA-seq data compared to controls. We provide this data for download and as a web application available at http://wrenlab.org/mirCoX/.

conclusionThis database of empirically established miRNA-mRNA transcriptional correlations will help to corroborate experimental observations and could be used to help refine and validate miRNA target predictions.
