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

MicroRNA (miRNA) is a class of noncoding RNA important in posttranscriptional regulation of target genes. The regulation mechanism requires complementarity between target mRNA and the miRNA region responsible for their recognition and binding, also called the seed region. It has been estimated that each miRNA targets approximately 200 genes and genetic variability of miRNA genes has been associated with phenotypic variation and disease susceptibility in humans, livestock species, and model organisms. Polymorphisms in miRNA genes especially within the seed region could therefore represent biomarkers for phenotypic traits important in livestock animals. Using the updated Version 5.0 of our previously developed bioinformatics tool miRNA SNiPer we assembled polymorphic miRNA genes in chicken. Out of 740 miRNA genes 263 were polymorphic, among them 77 had SNPs located within the mature region, and 29 of them within the miRNA seed region. Because several polymorphisms in databases result from sequencing errors, we performed experimental validation of polymorphisms located within 4 selected miRNA genes in chicken (gga-mir-1614, -1644, -1648, and -1657). We confirmed the presence of nine polymorphisms and identified 3 additional novel polymorphisms within primary miRNA regions in chicken representing 3 layer-type breeds, one layer-type hybrid, and one meat-type intercrossed population. The developed catalog of mir-SNPs in chicken can serve researchers as a starting point for association studies dealing with poultry production traits and designing functional experiments.
