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

Recently, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first small interfering RNA (siRNA) drug, marking a significant milestone in the therapeutic use of RNA interference (RNAi) technology. However, off-target gene silencing by siRNA remains one of the major obstacles in siRNA therapy. Although siRNA off-target effects caused by a mechanism known for microRNA (miRNA)-mediated gene repression have been extensively discussed, whether RNAi can cause unintended cleavage through the effector protein AGO2 at sites harboring partially complementary sequences to the siRNA remains unknown. Here, we report a strategy to establish a comprehensive picture of siRNA cleaved and noncleaved off-targets by performing SpyCLIP using wild-type and catalytically inactive AGO2 mutants in parallel. Additionally, we investigated naturally occurring cleavage events mediated by endogenous miRNAs using the same strategy. Our results demonstrated that AGO2 SpyCLIP is a powerful method to identify both the cleaved and noncleaved targets of siRNAs, providing valuable information for improving siRNA design rules.
