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

Regulation by microRNAs (miRNAs) and modulation of miRNA activity are critical components of diverse cellular processes. Recent research has shown that miRNA-based regulation of the tumor suppressor gene PTEN can be modulated by the expression of other miRNA targets acting as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs). However, the key sequence-based features enabling a transcript to act as an effective ceRNA are not well understood and a quantitative model associating statistical significance to such features is currently lacking. To identify and assess features characterizing target recognition by PTEN-regulating miRNAs, we analyze multiple datasets from PAR-CLIP experiments in conjunction with RNA-Seq data. We consider a set of miRNAs known to regulate PTEN and identify high-confidence binding sites for these miRNAs on the 3' UTR of protein coding genes. Based on the number and spatial distribution of these binding sites, we calculate a set of probabilistic features that are used to make predictions for novel ceRNAs of PTEN. Using a series of experiments in human prostate cancer cell lines, we validate the highest ranking prediction (TNRC6B) as a ceRNA of PTEN. The approach developed can be applied to map ceRNA networks of critical cellular regulators and to develop novel insights into crosstalk between different pathways involved in cancer.
