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

We aim to explore if RNA regulating gene expression is affected by length, sequence and position of RNA. HeLa cells were co-transfected with modulator plasmids (derived from pcDNA3.1 vector containing different length regulating sequences that produce RNAs) and reporter plasmids (derived from pEGFP-C1 vector); In addition, HeLa cells were transfected with plasmids that possess different sequences of downstream or adjacent genes of GFP reporter gene. We found that long inserting sequences of modulator plasmids induced stronger GFP gene activation than short inserting sequences. Changing of downstream sequences of GFP gene induced significant effects on GFP gene expression. Short sequences of adjacent genes of GFP activated GFP gene. Bioinformatics analysis of genes which is highly expressed in differentiating cells (thymocyte cells, germinal center B-cells) and quiescent cells (T cells, B cells) shows that differentiating cells produce longer RNA than quiescent cells. These findings demonstrate that the length, sequence and producing position of RNAs are important factors for RNA regulating gene expression.
