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

Along with the canonical miRNA, distinct miRNA-like sequences called sibling miRNAs (sib-miRs) are generated from the same pre-miRNA. Among them, isomeric sequences featuring slight variations at the terminals, relative to the canonical miRNA, constitute a pool of isomeric sibling miRNAs (isomiRs). Despite the high prevalence of isomiRs in eukaryotes, their features and relevance remain elusive. In this study, we performed a comprehensive analysis of mature precursor miRNA (pre-miRNA) sequences from Arabidopsis to understand their features and regulatory targets. The influence of isomiR terminal heterogeneity in target binding was examined comprehensively. Our comprehensive analyses suggested a novel computational strategy that utilizes miRNA and its isomiRs to enhance the accuracy of their regulatory target prediction in Arabidopsis. A few targets are shared by several members of isomiRs; however, this phenomenon was not typical. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis showed that commonly targeted mRNAs were enriched for certain GO terms. Moreover, comparison of these commonly targeted genes with validated targets from published data demonstrated that the validated targets are bound by most isomiRs and not only the canonical miRNA. Furthermore, the biological role of isomiRs in target cleavage was supported by degradome data. Incorporating this finding, we predicted potential target genes of several miRNAs and confirmed them by experimental assays. This study proposes a novel strategy to improve the accuracy of predicting miRNA targets through combined use of miRNA with its isomiRs.
