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

Containing about 22 nucleotides, a micro RNA (abbreviated miRNA) is a small non-coding RNA molecule, functioning in transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. The human genome may encode over 1000 miRNAs. Albeit poorly characterized, miRNAs are widely deemed as important regulators of biological processes. Aberrant expression of miRNAs has been observed in many cancers and other disease states, indicating they are deeply implicated with these diseases, particularly in carcinogenesis. Therefore, it is important for both basic research and miRNA-based therapy to discriminate the real pre-miRNAs from the false ones (such as hairpin sequences with similar stem-loops). Particularly, with the avalanche of RNA sequences generated in the postgenomic age, it is highly desired to develop computational sequence-based methods in this regard. Here two new predictors, called "iMcRNA-PseSSC" and "iMcRNA-ExPseSSC", were proposed for identifying the human pre-microRNAs by incorporating the global or long-range structure-order information using a way quite similar to the pseudo amino acid composition approach. Rigorous cross-validations on a much larger and more stringent newly constructed benchmark dataset showed that the two new predictors (accessible at http://bioinformatics.hitsz.edu.cn/iMcRNA/) outperformed or were highly comparable with the best existing predictors in this area.
