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

Milk-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) carry small RNAs, but the EV-associated miRNA repertoire of donkey milk remains poorly characterized. Small-RNA sequencing was performed on independently prepared EV-enriched preparations from three donkeys, with representative EV characterization performed on one preparation. Public human and bovine milk EV datasets were reprocessed with the donkey data using a harmonized workflow, and sequence-identical mature miRNAs were compared descriptively. Across the three donkey libraries, 292 miRNAs were identified, including 244 known and 48 putative novel miRNAs. Donkey and human abundance rankings showed the strongest correlation (Spearman's ρ = 0.773), miR-143-3p and miR-122-5p showed higher mean normalized abundance in the donkey dataset than in both external comparator datasets. These findings support a conserved yet compositionally distinctive donkey milk EV-associated miRNA repertoire and provide candidates for future functional validation.
