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 regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally, yet target prediction faces a credibility gap: published methods drop sharply against CLIP-seq-validated negatives. We present DeepExoMir, a deep learning framework integrating frozen RiNALMo RNA language model embeddings with biologically informed features. Under a dual-probe ablation protocol on three miRBench test sets, DeepExoMir reaches mean AU-PRC 0.855, surpassing eight retrained baselines (paired bootstrap p<0.001). Evolutionary conservation and duplex structure prove largely redundant with language-model priors, motivating a structure-free Lite variant (0.863). On nine exosomal miRNAs from a companion melanogenesis study, DeepExoMir recovers literature-validated targets and ranks canonical pigmentation regulators (KITLG, MITF, TYRP1) in the top 5%.
