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

Endogenously expressed small noncoding microRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in posttranscriptionally regulating gene expression by binding to mRNAs with complementary sequences. miRNA-mRNA interactions allow for cellular flexibility to fine-tune gene expression by controlling translation in response to a multitude of signaling events. Disease states or perturbations in cellular homeostasis can lead to aberrant miRNA expression. The discovery of stable miRNAs in circulation generated enormous interest in exploring their utility as potential noninvasive biomarkers. Additionally, selectively inhibiting or supplementing an miRNA contributing to pathogenesis is being pursued as a therapeutic strategy for a variety of disorders. Studies from rodent models of pain and patients have now implicated a role for miRNAs in mediating various aspects of pain processing. These noncoding RNAs can provide mechanistic insights into the pathways modulated and could serve as therapeutic targets. Here, we discuss the challenges associated with miRNA research and the promises ahead in this vastly unexplored avenue in pain biology.
