Genome-wide analysis reveals the crucial role of lncRNAs in regulating the expression of genes controlling pollen development.

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.
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
key messageThe genomic location and stage-specific expression pattern of many long non-coding RNAs reveal their critical role in regulating protein-coding genes crucial in pollen developmental progression and male germ line specification. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are transcripts longer than 200 bp with no apparent protein-coding potential. Multiple investigations have revealed high expression of lncRNAs in plant reproductive organs in a cell and tissue-specific manner. However, their potential role as essential regulators of molecular processes involved in sexual reproduction remains largely unexplored. We have used developing field mustard (Brassica rapa) pollen as a model system for investigating the potential role of lncRNAs in reproductive development. Reference-based transcriptome assembly performed to update the existing genome annotation identified novel expressed protein-coding genes and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), including 4347 long intergenic non-coding RNAs (lincRNAs, 1058 expressed) and 2,045 lncRNAs overlapping protein-coding genes on the opposite strand (lncNATs, 780 expressed). The analysis of expression profiles reveals that lncRNAs are significant and stage-specific contributors to the gene expression profile of developing pollen. Gene co-expression networks accompanied by genome location analysis identified 38 cis-acting lincRNA, 31 cis-acting lncNAT, 7 trans-acting lincRNA and 14 trans-acting lncNAT to be substantially co-expressed with target protein-coding genes involved in biological processes regulating pollen development and male lineage specification. These findings provide a foundation for future research aiming at developing strategies to employ lncRNAs as regulatory tools for gene expression control during reproductive development.
