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) represent a class of non-coding RNAs that are involved in transcriptional and posttranscriptional gene expression regulation and associated with different kinds of human diseases. However, the characterization and function of circular RNAs in peripheral nerve injuries remain elusive. Here, we established a rat sciatic nerve injury model and identified at least 4,942 distinct circular RNA candidates and a series of circular RNAs that were differentially expressed in injured nerve tissues compared with matched normal tissues. We characterized one frequently downregulated circular RNA, circRNA.2837, and further investigated its function in sciatic nerve injury. We found that circRNA.2837 regulated autophagy in neurons in vitro and in vivo, and downregulation of circRNA.2837 alleviated sciatic nerve injury via inducing autophagy in vivo. Mechanistically, knockdown of circRNA.2837 may protect neurons against neurological injury by acting as a sponge for members of miR-34 family. Our findings suggested that differentially expressed circular RNAs were involved in the pathogenesis of sciatic nerve injury, and circular RNAs exerted regulatory functions in sciatic nerve injury and might be used as potential targets in sciatic nerve injury therapy.
