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 ∼22 nt small noncoding RNAs that control gene expression at the posttranscriptional level through translational inhibition and destabilization of their target mRNAs. The biogenesis of miRNAs involves a series of processing steps beginning with cropping of the primary miRNA transcript by the Microprocessor complex, which is composed of Drosha and DGCR8. Here we report a novel regulatory interaction between the Microprocessor components and coilin, the Cajal body (CB) marker protein. Coilin knockdown causes alterations in the level of primary and mature miRNAs, let-7a and miR-34a, and their miRNA targets, HMGA2 and Notch1, respectively. We also found that coilin knockdown affects the levels of DGCR8 and Drosha in cells with (HeLa) and without (WI-38) CBs. To further explore the role of coilin in miRNA biogenesis, we conducted a series of coimmunoprecipitation experiments using coilin and DGCR8 constructs, which revealed that coilin and DGCR8 can form a complex. Additionally, our results indicate that phosphorylation of DGCR8, which has been shown to increase protein stability, is impacted by coilin knockdown. Collectively, our results implicate coilin as a member of the regulatory network governing miRNA biogenesis.
