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

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of noncoding RNAs with continuous, covalently closed circular structures. Investigators have shown previously that circRNAs are regulators of gene expression in mammals. These tissue-specific transcripts are produced primarily by exonic or intronic sequences of housekeeping genes. Several biosynthetic models have been proposed for circRNAs, and consensus is lacking. CircRNAs are widely expressed in the cytoplasm and highly conserved, what is more, unlike other noncoding RNAs, circRNAs are relatively stable. These properties suggest special roles of circRNAs, such as microRNA (miRNA) sponges, regulators of selective splicing, or even protein-coding sequences. The expression of circRNAs is associated with many pathologic conditions; therefore, circRNAs may have utility as biomarker for the diagnosis or prediction of diseases. Authors previously have demonstrated that circRNAs can regulate the expression of a variety of disease-related miRNAs. The circRNA-miRNA-target gene interaction network regulates several pathways that inhibit or promote the occurrence of certain diseases. Based on their potential clinical relevance, circRNAs are a crucial topic of disease prevention and treatment research. Herein, we review current research regarding circRNAs and explore their potential clinical applications for thoracic diseases diagnosis and treatment.
