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) modulate gene expression as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) that sponge regulatory microRNAs (miRNAs). During cellular reprogramming, genes associated with pluripotency establishment need to be up-regulated, and developmental genes need to be silenced. However, how ceRNAs control cellular reprogramming still awaits full elucidation. Here, we used doxycycline-inducible expression of the four transcription factors octamer-binding protein 4 (OCT4), SRY-box 2 (SOX2), Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4), and proto-oncogene c-Myc (c-Myc) to generate induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). Using RNA-Seq and bioinformatics approaches, we found that the expression levels of miRNAs from MEFs remain high from day 0 to 6 after the doxycycline induction. Many genes targeted by these miRNAs were up-regulated, and long intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs), which have complementary binding sites to these miRNAs, were highly expressed, indicating lincRNAs and circRNAs may function as ceRNAs. Intriguingly, knockdown of the linc/circRNAs that sponge the miRNAs, which target OCT4 down-regulated exogenous OCT4, decreased reprogramming efficiency, and resulted in low-grade iPSCs. Our results suggest that the ceRNA network plays an important role in cellular reprogramming.
