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

The human genome contains thousands of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), even outnumbering protein-coding genes. These molecules can play a pivotal role in the development and progression of human disease, including cancer, and are susceptible to therapeutic intervention. Evidence of biologic function, however, is still missing for the vast majority of them. Both loss-of-function (LOF) and gain-of-function (GOF) studies are therefore necessary to advance our understanding of lncRNA networks and programs driving tumorigenesis. Here, we describe a protocol to perform lncRNA's LOF or GOF studies in multiple myeloma (MM) cells, using CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) or CRISPR activation (CRISPRa) technologies, respectively. These approaches have many advantages, including applicability to large-scale genetic screens in mammalian cells and possible reversibility of modulating effects; moreover, CRISPRa offers the unique opportunity to enhance lncRNA expression at the site of transcription, with relevant biologic implications.
