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 shell color of the Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) is an economically important trait. We used high-throughput sequencing and transcriptome analysis to study the molecular mechanisms that underlie shell color formation and regulation in this species. We constructed small RNA libraries from mantle tissues from four shell color strains of Manila clam, subjected them to high-throughput sequencing. Notably, the results suggested that a number of pigment-associated genes including Mitf, HERC2, were negatively regulated by nvi-miR-2a, tgu-miR-133-3p, respectively. They might be involved in melanin formation via the activation of the melanogenesis pathway. And aae-miR-71-5p and dme-miR-7-5p linked to shell formation-related genes such as Calmodulin and IMSP3 were considered to participate in the calcium signaling pathway. We then used quantitative PCR to verify the candidate miRNAs and target genes in different shell color groups. Our results indicated that miR-7, miR-71, and miR-133 may regulate target mRNAs to participate in shell color pigmentation. These results provide the foundation to further characterize miRNA effects on the regulation of shell color and have significant implications for the breeding of new varieties of clams.
