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

miR828, a highly conserved noncoding RNA, participates in the regulation of metabolic pathways associated with proanthocyanidins (PAs) in plants. This study aimed to identify miR828 in sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia), clone the OvmiR828c gene, predict its potential target genes, and investigate its function through heterologous overexpression in Arabidopsis thaliana. The findings indicated that the stem-loop sequence of OvmiR828c is 91 base pairs in length and can form a stable stem-loop secondary structure. The mature miR828 sequence is located at the 5' end of the precursor, while the upstream regulatory region contains multiple cis-acting elements, including MYB-binding sites and elements related to circadian rhythm. The heterologous overexpression of OvmiR828c in A. thaliana transgenic lines results in a significant increase in seed coat pigmentation and PA accumulation. Through functional annotation and expression pattern analysis of eight predicted target genes, MYB transcription factors, methyltransferase family genes, cysteine synthases, and kinesin family proteins were preliminarily identified. These findings contribute to the understanding of the regulatory network formed by miR828 and its target genes in PA biosynthesis, laying a foundation for subsequent in-depth exploration of this metabolic pathway.
