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

microRNAs (miRNAs) are key regulators of multiple biological functions. Although intensively studied, inactivating miRNAs in vivo is particularly challenging, especially in the brain. Here, we designed cell-specific tools aiming at downregulating defined miRNA species in vivo and investigating their function in discrete neuronal networks. Focusing on miR-124, a miRNA highly expressed in the mammalian brain and transcribed from three independent chromosomal loci, we designed and validated different guide RNAs. In vivo, our CRISPR-Cas9 designs strongly downregulate miR-124 levels without affecting the expression of other miRNAs. As a result, levels of endogenous miR-124 targets exhibit a significant increase supporting the release of its silencing activity. We provide evidence that specific deletion of miR-124 in neural stem cells of the subventricular zone altered migration of newly generated neurons into the olfactory bulb. We also showed that our vectors modified the Ca
