SIREs 3.0, an improved RNA prediction tool for iron-responsive elements.
Article in Nucleic acids research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Iron-responsive elements (IREs) are cis-acting regulatory RNA motifs that bind to iron regulatory proteins (IRP1 and IRP2), playing an essential role in the post-transcriptional regulation of genes involved in iron metabolism. Disruptions in this IRP/IRE regulatory system have been linked to several human diseases. SIREs (searching for IREs) is a web-server tool designed to predict IREs in nucleotide sequences. Here, we present SIREs 3.0 webserver, an improved new version built on a Flask-based framework, replacing the previous Perl backend to improve interconnectivity with other services. This upgrade introduces three novel input methods-batch, transcript, and gene modes-to cover researchers' needs, from large-scale analysis to single-gene queries. By integrating with NCBI and Ensembl APIs, SIREs 3.0 fetches genomic data to improve predictions with novel features, such as the location of the IREs in the transcript. Other novelties include novel IRE motifs based on in vivo verified data, broadening the scope of IRE detection. The scoring system has been refined with empirical data and enhanced graphical representations of predicted IREs have been added to the output. The interface is now more responsive and accessible across all devices. SIREs 3.0 can be accessed at: https://www.sires-webserver.eu.
