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

Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) are widely used as therapeutics. One class of ASOs enhances protein expression by sequestering the mature microRNA (miRNA) in a double-stranded structure within the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). An alternative approach for the targeted control of gene expression is to use ASOs that bind to precursor miRNAs (pre-miRNAs) and modulate their enzymatic processing. Here, we demonstrate that ASOs that disrupt the junction of pre-miR-31, a region we previously identified as a critical regulatory element, are potent inhibitors of Dicer/TRBP processing
