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) belong to a new type of endogenous non‑coding RNAs (ncRNAs) that are derived from exons and/or introns, and are widely distributed in mammals. The majority of circRNAs have a specific expression profile in cells or tissues, as well as during different stages of development. CircRNAs were originally thought to be the products of mis‑splicing. However, with the assistance of bioinformatics tools and the rapid development of high‑throughput sequencing, an increasing body of evidence has suggested that circRNAs bind micro(mi)RNAs, and have a role as miRNA sponges, thereby regulating target mRNA splicing and transcription. Human diseases are closely associated with circRNAs, especially in cancer as their expression is typically altered during the progression of cancer; this may provide a novel type of biomarker for cancer diagnosis and prognosis. CircRNAs are becoming a key area of interest within the field of cancer research. In the present review, we summarize the known molecular mechanisms and biological origin of circRNAs, as well as their functions, especially those related to human tumors.
