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 post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression and cell-fate determination. Here, we present a protocol for detecting miRNAs in Drosophila gonadal tissues using an optimized hybridization chain reaction (HCR)-based approach. We describe steps for using modular probes and antibody-free signal amplification to visualize miRNAs while preserving tissue morphology and spatial resolution. This approach could be adapted for simultaneous detection of multiple miRNAs. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Harsh et al.
