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

summaryNon-coding RNAs play important roles in transcriptional processes and participate in the regulation of various biological functions, in particular miRNAs and lncRNAs. Despite their importance for several biological functions, the existing signaling pathway databases do not include information on miRNA and lncRNA. Here, we redesigned a novel pathway database named NcPath by integrating and visualizing a total of 178 308 human experimentally validated miRNA-target interactions (MTIs), 32 282 experimentally verified lncRNA-target interactions (LTIs) and 4837 experimentally validated human ceRNA networks across 222 KEGG pathways (including 27 sub-categories). To expand the application potential of the redesigned NcPath database, we identified 556 798 reliable lncRNA-protein-coding genes (PCG) interaction pairs by integrating co-expression relations, ceRNA relations, co-TF-binding interactions, co-histone-modification interactions, cis-regulation relations and lncPro Tool predictions between lncRNAs and PCG. In addition, to determine the pathways in which miRNA/lncRNA targets are involved, we performed a KEGG enrichment analysis using a hypergeometric test. The NcPath database also provides information on MTIs/LTIs/ceRNA networks, PubMed IDs, gene annotations and the experimental verification method used. In summary, the NcPath database will serve as an important and continually updated platform that provides annotation and visualization of the pathways on which non-coding RNAs (miRNA and lncRNA) are involved, and provide support to multimodal non-coding RNAs enrichment analysis. The NcPath database is freely accessible at http://ncpath.pianlab.cn/. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: NcPath database is freely available at http://ncpath.pianlab.cn/. The code and manual to use NcPath can be found at https://github.com/Marscolono/NcPath/. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
