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

RNA silencing pathways use small RNAs to guide sequence-specific repression of endogenous genes, mobile elements, and viruses. It has been 25 years since RNA interference (RNAi) was found in mouse oocytes and became the first identified small RNA pathway in mammals. Today, three distinct small RNA pathways are known to operate in mammalian oocytes-in addition to RNAi, there is the microRNA (miRNA) pathway and the PIWI-associated RNA (piRNA) pathway. These pathways differ mechanistically and functionally and their co-existence in the female germline evolved into different arrangements. This review aims to provide a basic introduction to mammalian RNA silencing pathways with a focus on mouse oocytes and key aspects of the pathways, which influence their biological roles in oocytes and zygotes, across mammals.
