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

Plant viruses impose serious threats on crop production. Artificial miRNAs can mediate specific and effective gene silencing in plants and are widely used in plant gene function studies and to engineer plant viral resistance. To facilitate the design of artificial miRNA genes, we developed a webserver, AMIRdesigner, which can be used to design oligos for artificial miRNA synthesis using wild-type and permutated MIR171 and MIR164 backbones. The artificial miRNA genes designed by AMIRdesigner can be easily assembled into miRNA clusters for multiple target sites. To validate the server functionality, we designed four artificial miRNA genes targeting four conserved regions in the potato leafroll virus genome using AMIRdesigner. These genes were synthesized with the server-designed oligos and further assembled into a quadruple miRNA cluster, which was cloned into an overexpression vector and transformed into potato plants. Small RNA Northern blot and virus inoculation analyses showed that a high level of artificial miRNA expression and good viral resistance were achieved in some of the transgenic lines. These results demonstrate the utility of our webserver AMIRdesigner for engineering crop viral resistance.
