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

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are an abundant family of endogenous noncoding small RNA molecules. They play crucial roles on regulation of life processes both in plants and animals. Fibroin modulator binding protein-1 (FMBP-1) is a silk gland transcription factor of Bombyx mori, which is considered as a trans-activator of fibroin genes. And bioinformatics prediction showed that at the 3' untranslated region (3' UTR) of BmFMBP-1 there were binding sites for three bmo-miRNAs, bmo-miR-2b*, bmo-miR-305, and bmo-miR-2758, separately. In order to validate whether these bmo-miRNAs involved in the regulation of BmFMBP-1 expression, the expression levels of three bmo-miRNAs and BmFMBP-1 in the middle silk gland (MSG) and posterior silk gland (PSG) during the fourth- and fifth-larval stages of B. mori were measured by semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. The results revealed that the expression level of bmo-miR-2758 was the highest in the three, and it expressed higher in the PSG than in the MSG with a similar expression pattern as BmFMBP-1, implying that bmo-miR-2758 may involved in regulation of BmFMBP-1. To validate the regulation function of bmo-miR-2758 on BmFMBP-1, recombinant plasmids pcDNA3 [ie1-egfp-pri-bmo-miR-2758-SV40] and pGL3 [A3-luc-FMBP-1 3' UTR-SV40] were constructed and co-transfected in BmN cells. The dual-luciferase reporter assay system was used for assay of transient expression. The results showed that the expression of the luciferase reporter was significantly decreased when pGL3 [A3-luc-FMBP-1 3' UTR-SV40] co-transfected with pcDNA3 [ie1-egfp-pri-bmo-miR-2758-SV40] (P <  .01). Furthermore, when the artificial antisense RNA of bmo-miR-2758 (inhibitor) was added to the above co-transfection, the expression of the luciferase reporter was recovered significantly (P < 0.01). These results suggest that bmo-miR-2758 represses the expression of BmFMBP-1 in vitro.
