The effect of microRNA on protein variability and gene expression fidelity.
Article in Biophysical journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Small regulatory RNA molecules such as microRNA modulate gene expression through inhibiting the translation of messenger RNA (mRNA). Such posttranscriptional regulation has been recently hypothesized to reduce the stochastic variability of gene expression around average levels. Here, we quantify noise in stochastic gene expression models with and without such regulation. Our results suggest that silencing mRNA posttranscriptionally will always increase, rather than decrease, gene expression noise when the silencing of mRNA also increases its degradation, as is expected for microRNA interactions with mRNA. In that regime, we also find that silencing mRNA generally reduces the fidelity of signal transmission from deterministically varying upstream factors to protein levels. These findings suggest that microRNA binding to mRNA does not generically confer precision to protein expression.
