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) have important roles in the regulation of genes; however, for trees few studies have explored the potential impact of the interactions between miRNAs and their target genes. Here, we performed transcript profiling and association genetics (single-SNP, haplotype-based and multi-SNP associations) to study the genetic regulatory relationship of Pto-miR257 and its 12 target genes in 435 individuals of a natural population of Populus tomentosa. Expression profiling of Pto-miR257 and its targets showed a negative relationship between their expression levels. Of the 61 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) detected in Pto-miR257, 6 in the pre-mature region strongly affected its secondary stability and 1 in the mature region could alter its target spectrum. Among the 1029 SNPs in the targets, 3 were located in target sites that could change the binding affinity of Pto-miR257. Single-SNP association analysis revealed that SNPs in Pto-miR257 and target genes associated with both growth and wood property traits, in agreement with haplotype-based identifications. Multi-SNP association found that 10 targets shared at least one common trait with Pto-miR257, with phenotypic variance from 0.5 to 8.5%, suggesting a possible internal genetic interaction between them. Epistasis analysis showed significant epistatic interactions among Pto-miR257 and its targets. Therefore, our study demonstrated Pto-miR257 and its 12 targets had roles in wood formation and revealed the genetic interaction network between the miRNA and its targets under additive, dominant and epistatic models. Thus, association genetics can be used to decipher the interactions between miRNAs and their target genes and to help understand the genetic architecture of complex traits.
