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

Double-stranded RNA plays a key role in various biological processes. The discovery of RNA interference, a gene-silencing mechanism, revolutionized the study of gene function. dsRNA has since been used in novel therapeutics and as an agricultural biocontrol alternative to chemical pesticides. Microbial production typically involves expression systems with convergent T7 promoters. However, convergent transcription from DNA-dependent RNA polymerases can lead to transcriptional interference. In this study, we designed multiple plasmid DNA constructs to investigate the effect of convergent and divergent T7 RNA polymerase production of dsRNA via in vitro transcription and in vivo in
