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

Due to a pivotal role in the post-transcriptional regulation of genes implicated in numerous diseases, miRNAs serve as promising disease biomarkers and therapeutic targets. We introduce a new oligonucleotide probe termed miRNA-trigger, which selectively downregulates newly assigned target mRNAs by hijacking specific miRNAs. By engineering the miRNA-trigger to suppress the anti-apoptotic BCL-xL gene, we induce apoptosis selectively in breast cancer cells overexpressing specific miRNAs and further validate its therapeutic efficacy in vivo, by significantly reducing the tumor volume of the xenograft mouse upon its tail-vein injection. This approach establishes a new platform for self-modulating oligonucleotide therapy by redirecting disease-associated miRNAs.
