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

Numerous studies on microRNAs (miRNA) in cancer and other diseases have been accompanied by diverse computational approaches and experimental methods to predict and validate miRNA biological and clinical significance as easily accessible disease biomarkers. In recent years, the application of the next-generation deep sequencing for the analysis and discovery of novel RNA biomarkers has clearly shown an expanding repertoire of diverse sequence variants of mature miRNAs, or isomiRs, resulting from alternative post-transcriptional processing events, and affected by (patho)physiological changes, population origin, individual's gender, and age. Here, we provide an in-depth overview of currently available bioinformatics approaches for the detection and visualization of both mature miRNA and cognate isomiR sequences. An attempt has been made to present in a systematic way the advantages and downsides of in silico approaches in terms of their sensitivity and accuracy performance, as well as used methods, workflows, and processing steps, and end output dataset overlapping issues. The focus is given to the challenges and pitfalls of isomiR expression analysis. Specifically, we address the availability of tools enabling research without extensive bioinformatics background to explore this fascinating corner of the small RNAome universe that may facilitate the discovery of new and more reliable disease biomarkers.
