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

MicroRNAs are short, endogenous, non-coding RNAs, liable for essential regulatory function. Numerous miRNAs have been identified and studied in plants with known genomic or small RNA resources. Despite the availability of genomic and transcriptomic resources, the miRNAs have not been reported in the medicinal tree Azadirachta indica (Neem) till date. Here for the first time, we report extensive identification of miRNAs and their possible targets in A. indica which might help to unravel their therapeutic potential. A comprehensive search of miRNAs in the A. indica genome by C-mii tool was performed. Overall, 123 miRNAs classified into 63 families and their stem-loop hairpin structures were predicted. The size of the A. indica (ain)-miRNAs ranged between 19 and 23 nt in length, and their corresponding ain-miRNA precursor sequence MFEI value averaged as -1.147 kcal/mol. The targets of ain-miRNAs were predicted in A. indica as well as Arabidopsis thaliana plant. The gene ontology (GO) annotation revealed the involvement of ain-miRNA targets in developmental processes, transport, stress, and metabolic processes including secondary metabolism. Stem-loop qRT-PCR was carried out for 25 randomly selected ain-miRNAs and differential expression patterns were observed in different A. indica tissues. Expression of miRNAs and its targets shows negative correlation in a dependent manner.
