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 bulk of RNA produced from the genome of complex organisms consists of a very large number of transcripts lacking protein translational potential and collectively known as noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs). Initially thought to be mere products of spurious transcriptional noise, ncRNAs are now universally recognized as pivotal players in cell regulatory networks across a broad spectrum of biological processes. Owing to their critical regulatory roles, ncRNA dysfunction is closely associated with the etiopathogenesis of various human malignancies, including cancer. As such, ncRNAs represent valuable diagnostic biomarkers as well as potential targets for innovative therapeutic intervention. In this review, we focus on microRNAs (miRNAs) and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), the two most extensively studied classes in the field of ncRNA biology. After outlining key concepts of miRNA and lncRNA biogenesis pathways, we examine their multiple roles in mediating epigenetic regulation of gene expression and chromatin organization. Finally, by providing numerous examples of specific miRNAs and lncRNAs, we discuss how dysregulation of these mechanisms contributes to the onset and/or progression of various human diseases.
