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

purposePhysiologic neuronal apoptosis, which facilitates the developmental maturation of the nervous system, is regulated by neuronal activity and gene expression. Circular RNA (circRNA), a class of non-coding RNA, regulates RNA and protein expression. As the relationship between circRNA and apoptosis is unknown, we explored changes in expression patterns of circRNA during physiologic neuronal apoptosis.

methodsHigh-throughput sequencing was used to explore changes in the expression of circRNA in the postnatal developing rat retina. Neuronal apoptosis was determined with immunohistochemistry and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) in the rat retinal ganglion cell layer.

resultsIn total, 2,654, 7,201, and 5,628 circRNA species were detected in the postnatal day (P)3, P7, and P12 rat retina, respectively. Of these circRNA species, 1,371 changed statistically significantly between P3 and P7 and 1,112 changed statistically significantly between P7 and P12. Normal developmental apoptosis, measured with the ratio of apoptotic (caspase-3- or TUNEL-positive) cells to normal cells, showed an increase from P3 to P7 and then a reduction from P7 to P12. In addition, 15 circRNAs whose host genes were associated with apoptosis were differentially expressed during the early development period.

conclusionsThese results associate circRNAs with neuronal apoptosis, providing potential mechanisms and treatment targets for physiologic and drug-induced apoptosis in the developing nervous system.
