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

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as important regulators of cell biology. The mechanisms by which lncRNAs function are likely numerous, and most are poorly understood. Currently, the mechanisms of functional lncRNAs include those that directly involve the lncRNA transcript, the process of their own transcription and splicing, and even underlying transcriptional regulatory elements within the genomic DNA that encodes the lncRNA As our understanding of lncRNA biology evolves, so have the methods that are utilized to elucidate their functions. In this review, we survey a collection of different methods used to modulate lncRNA expression levels for the assessment of biological function. From RNA-targeted strategies, genetic deletions, to engineered gene regulatory systems, the advantages and caveats of each method will be discussed. Ultimately, the selection of tools will be guided by which potential lncRNA mechanisms are being investigated, and no single method alone will likely be sufficient to reveal the function of any particular lncRNA.
