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

Double-stranded RNA binding (DRB) proteins are generally considered as promoting cofactors of Dicer or Dicer-like (DCL) proteins that ensure efficient and precise production of small RNAs, the sequence-specificity guide of RNA silencing processes in both plants and animals. However, the characterization of a new clade of DRB proteins in Arabidopsis has recently challenged this view by showing that DRBs can also act as potent inhibitors of DCL processing. This is achieved through sequestration of a specific class of small RNA precursors, the endogenous inverted-repeat (endoIR) dsRNAs, thereby selectively preventing production of their associated small RNAs, the endoIR-siRNAs. Here, we concisely summarize the main findings obtained from the characterization of these new DRB proteins and discuss how the existence of such complexes can support a potential, yet still elusive, biological function of plant endoIR-siRNAs.
