Identification of miRNA-eQTLs in maize mature leaf by GWAS.
Article in BMC genomics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
backgroundMiRNAs play essential roles in plant development and response to biotic and abiotic stresses through interaction with their target genes. The expression level of miRNAs shows great variations among different plant accessions, developmental stages, and tissues. Little is known about the content within the plant genome contributing to the variations in plants. This study aims to identify miRNA expression-related quantitative trait loci (miR-QTLs) in the maize genome.
resultsThe miRNA expression level from next generation sequencing (NGS) small RNA libraries derived from mature leaf samples of the maize panel (200 maize lines) was estimated as phenotypes, and maize Hapmap v3.2.1 was chosen as the genotype for the genome-wide association study (GWAS). A total of four significant miR-eQTLs were identified contributing to miR156k-5p, miR159a-3p, miR390a-5p and miR396e-5p, and all of them are trans-eQTLs. In addition, a strong positive coexpression of miRNA was found among five miRNA families. Investigation of the effects of these miRNAs on the expression levels and target genes provided evidence that miRNAs control the expression of their targets by suppression and enhancement.
conclusionsThese identified significant miR-eQTLs contribute to the diversity of miRNA expression in the maize penal at the developmental stages of mature leaves in maize, and the positive and negative regulation between miRNA and its target genes has also been uncovered.
