In one paragraph

Review in Journal of cellular and molecular medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04441502 (Identification of Predictors for the Evolution of COVID-19 Related Interstitial Pneumonia by Transcriptomic and Seroproteomic Techniques), which is not on this map. Cited by 44 papers.

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.

Abstract

Circular RNAs are generated by back-splicing of precursor-mRNAs. Although they have been known for many years, only recently we have started to appreciate their widespread expression and their regulatory functions in a variety of biological processes. Not surprisingly, circular RNA dysregulation and participation in the pathogenic mechanisms have started to emerge in many instances, including cardiovascular diseases. Detection, differential expression analysis and validation are the three critical points for the characterization of any RNA, and circular RNAs are no exception. Their characteristics, however, generate several problems that are yet to be completely addressed, and literature still lacks comprehensive definitions of well-defined best practices. We present a map of the current knowledge regarding circular RNAs and the critical issues limiting our understanding of their regulation and function. The goal was to provide the readers with the tools to critically decide which of the many approaches available is most suitable to their experimental plan. Although particularly focused on cardiovascular diseases, most critical issues concerning circular RNAs are common to many other fields of investigation.
