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

The involvement of microRNAs in human pathologies is firmly established. Accordingly, the pharmacological modulation of microRNA activity appears to be a very interesting approach in the development of new types of drugs (miRNA Therapeutics). One important research area is the possible development of miRNA Therapeutics in the field of rare diseases. In this respect, appealing molecules are based on peptide nucleic acids (PNAs), displaying, in their first description, a pseudo-peptide backbone composed of N-(2-aminoethyl)glycine units and found to be excellent candidates for antisense and antigéne therapies. The aim of the present article is to describe methods for determining the activity of PNAs designed to inhibit the biological activity of microRNAs involved in Cystic Fibrosis, using as model system miR-145-5p and its target Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) mRNA. Antisense PNAs and miRNA masking PNAs were considered. The methods employed to study the effects of PNAs altering the biological activity of miR-145-5p are here presented discussing data obtained using as a cellular model system the human lung epithelial Calu-3 cell line.
