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

Several classes of small RNAs function to regulate stress and development pathways in all kingdoms of life. In animals and plants, microRNAs have been widely studied as important regulators of gene expression. However, non-conserved microRNAs have proven more difficult to study, raising questions as to their functionality. Using the legume family of plants as reference, we discuss this concept and provide examples where miRNAs functions have been described, highlighting their potential role in regulating important processes in these plants, such as stress responses and communication with other organisms, including bacteria and fungi. These examples suggest that non-conserved miRNAs are likely to contribute to more gene regulation circuits than currently appreciated, and in a wider range of plant species.
