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 key regulators of cell-fate decisions in development and disease with a vast array of target interactions that can be investigated using computational approaches. For this study, we developed metaMIR, a combinatorial approach to identify miRNAs that co-regulate identified subsets of genes from a user-supplied list. We based metaMIR predictions on an improved dataset of human miRNA-target interactions, compiled using a machine-learning-based meta-analysis of established algorithms. Simultaneously, the inverse dataset of negative interactions not likely to occur was extracted to increase classifier performance, as measured using an expansive set of experimentally validated interactions from a variety of sources. In a second differential mode, candidate miRNAs are predicted by indicating genes to be targeted and others to be avoided to potentially increase specificity of results. As an example, we investigate the neural crest, a transient structure in vertebrate development where miRNAs play a pivotal role. Patterns of metaMIR-predicted miRNA regulation alone partially recapitulated functional relationships among genes, and separate differential analysis revealed miRNA candidates that would downregulate components implicated in cancer progression while not targeting tumour suppressors. Such an approach could aid in therapeutic application of miRNAs to reduce unintended effects. The utility is available at http://rna.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/metaMIR/.
