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 endogenous ~22 nucleotide long, non-coding RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression. During miRNA biogenesis, stem-loop-containing miRNA precursors are enzymatically cleaved to form a small RNA duplex. Cleavage positions are determined based on the position of structural motifs and junctions on the stem-loop precursor. The duplex end containing a favourable 5' nucleotide and lower thermodynamic stability is subsequently loading into an Argonaute protein. Typically, one duplex (guide) strand is retained in Argonaute and becomes functional whereas the other (passenger) strand is degraded. Therefore, accurate structural predictions of miRNA intermediates and quantification of duplex end stabilities are important towards understanding miRNA biogenesis. Here, we compiled predicted secondary structures for all
