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

Here, we present a highly specific, sensitive and cost-effective system to quantify microRNA (miRNA) expression based on two-step RT-qPCR with EvaGreen detection chemistry, called linear-hairpin variable primer RT-qPCR. It takes advantage of the novel designed variable primer, which is initially designed to be linear, extending to form a hairpin structure and replacing the target miRNA for cyclic RT. Then the RT product is quantified by conventional EvaGreen based qPCR. The results show that this method has a dynamic range of 8 logs and the sensitivity is sufficient to directly detect down to 4 target miRNA molecules with a total analysis time of less than 2 hours. It is capable of discriminating between similar miRNAs, leading to an accurate representation of the mature miRNA content in a sample. The RT step can be multiplexed and the 8 miRNA profiles measured in 7 mouse tissues by this method show an excellent correlation with the commercial standard TaqMan RT-qPCR assays (
