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

We present a major update of MirGeneDB (3.0), the manually curated animal microRNA gene database. Beyond moving to a new server and the creation of a computational mirror, we have expanded the database with the addition of 33 invertebrate species, including representatives of 5 previously unsampled phyla, and 6 mammal species. MirGeneDB now contains entries for 21 822 microRNA genes (5160 of these from the new species) belonging to 1743 microRNA families. The inclusion of these new species allowed us to refine both the evolutionary node of appearance of a number of microRNA genes/families, as well as MirGeneDB's phylogenetically informed nomenclature system. Updated covariance models of all microRNA families, along with all smallRNA read data are now downloadable. These enhanced annotations will allow researchers to analyze microRNA properties such as secondary structure and features of their biogenesis within a robust phylogenetic context and without the database plagued with numerous false positives and false negatives. In light of these improvements, MirGeneDB 3.0 will assume the responsibility for naming conserved novel metazoan microRNAs. MirGeneDB is part of RNAcentral and Elixir Norway and is publicly and freely available at mirgenedb.org.
