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

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) display pervasive expression and function in the developing nervous system. Temporal profiling of gene expression in the retina has demonstrated differential expression of lncRNAs throughout development; however, determinations of lncRNA function during retinal development remain limited. In this study, we identify numerous lncRNAs with dynamic temporal expression and characterize the function of the lncRNA Gm11454, which we have named Peanut. Overexpression of Peanut in mouse retinas increases rod photoreceptor fate and neurogenesis of retinal progenitor cells (RPCs), inhibits Notch signaling, and inhibits expression of neighboring gene Tox2. A novel Peanut knockout mouse model demonstrates that Peanut is involved in the establishment of proper visual function and photoreceptor gene expression. Finally, we determined that Peanut modulates cell cycle progression and neurogenesis. Our results characterize the consequence of altered expression of a novel lncRNA as a putative regulator of RPC neurogenesis and differentiation and support the significance of lncRNAs in the developing retina.
