Robust Filtering and Noise Suppression in Intragenic miRNA-Mediated Host Regulation.
Article in iScience, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally by binding to target messenger RNAs (mRNAs). Many human miRNAs are intragenic, located within introns of protein-coding sequence (host). Intriguingly, a percentage of intragenic miRNAs downregulate the host transcript forming an incoherent feedforward motif topology. Here, we study intragenic miRNA-mediated host gene regulation using a synthetic gene circuit stably integrated within a safe-harbor locus of human cells. When the intragenic miRNA is directed to inhibit the host transcript, we observe a reduction in reporter expression accompanied by output filtering and noise reduction. Specifically, the system operates as a filter with respect to promoter strength, with the threshold being robust to promoter strength and measurement time. Additionally, the intragenic miRNA regulation reduces expression noise compared to splicing-alone architecture. Our results provide a new insight into miRNA-mediated gene expression, with direct implications to gene therapy and synthetic biology applications.
