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

In the past decades, microRNAs (miRNA) have much attracted the attention of researchers at the interface between life and theoretical sciences for their involvement in post-transcriptional regulation and related diseases. Thanks to the always more sophisticated experimental techniques, the role of miRNAs as "noise processing units" has been further elucidated and two main ways of miRNA noise-control have emerged by combinations of theoretical and experimental studies. While on one side miRNAs were thought to buffer gene expression noise, it has recently been suggested that miRNAs could also increase the cell-to-cell variability of their targets. In this Mini Review, we focus on the role of miRNAs in molecular noise processing and on the advantages as well as current limitations of theoretical modelling.
