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

The determination of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) function is a major challenge in RNA biology with applications to basic, translational, and medical research. We developed BigHorn to computationally infer lncRNA-DNA interactions that mediate transcription and chromatin-remodeling factor activity. Its accurate inference enabled the identification of lncRNAs that coordinately regulate both the transcriptional and post-transcriptional processing of their targets. These lncRNAs may act as molecular chaperones, regulating the stability and translation of mRNAs they helped transcribe, leading to tightly coupled expression profiles. Our analysis suggests that lncRNAs regulate cancer genes across tumor contexts, thus propagating the effects of non-coding alterations to effectively dysregulate cancer programs. As a proof of principle, we studied the regulation of DICER1, a cancer gene that plays a key role in microRNA biogenesis, by the lncRNA ZFAS1. We showed that ZFAS1 helps activate DICER1 transcription and block its mRNA degradation to phenomimic DICER1 and regulate its target microRNAs.
