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

Complex interactions between mRNAs and microRNAs influence cellular functions. The mRNA-microRNA interactions also determine the post-transcriptional availability of mRNAs and unbound microRNAs. MicroRNAs binds to one or more microRNA response elements (MREs) located on the 3'UTR of mRNAs. In this study, we leveraged MREs and their frequencies in cancer and matched normal tissues to obtain insights into disease-specific interactions between mRNAs and microRNAs. We developed a bioinformatics method "ReMIx" that utilizes RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) data to quantify MRE frequencies across the transcriptome. We applied ReMIx to triple-negative (TN) breast cancer tumor-normal adjacent pairs and identified MREs specific to TN tumors. ReMIx identified candidate mRNAs and microRNAs in the MAPK signaling cascade. Further analysis of MAPK gene regulatory networks revealed microRNA partners that influence and modulate MAPK signaling. In conclusion, we demonstrate a novel method of using MREs in the identification of functionally relevant mRNA-microRNA interactions in TN breast cancer.
