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

backgroundCircular RNA (circRNA) is a type of noncoding RNA involved in a variety of biological processes, especially in post-transcriptional regulation. The granulosa cells of follicles play a determining role in ovarian development. However, the function of circRNA in chicken follicles is unclear. To better understand the molecular mechanism underlying follicular development and granulosa cell function, we performed a strategy of second-generation sequencing and linear RNA depletion for granulosa cells from small yellow follicles (SYF, 5-8 mm), the smallest hierarchal follicles (F6, 9-12 mm), and the largest hierarchal follicles (F1, ~ 40 mm).

resultsWe predicted a total of 11,642 circRNAs that distributed on almost all chromosomes. The majority of the splice lengths of circRNAs were 200-500 nt and mainly produced from intron and CDS regions. During follicle growth, differentially expressed (DE) circRNAs showed dynamic changes which were tissue- and stage-specific. The host genes of DE circRNAs were functionally enriched in GTPase activity and several pathways involved in reproduction. Moreover, bioinformatic prediction analysis for circRalGPS2 demonstrated that circRNAs from the same genes may share common miRNA to act as a sponge. The predicted target genes were enriched in various biological processes including cognition, cell communication, and regulation of signaling, and several pathways related to reproduction such as tight junction, oocyte meiosis, progesterone-mediated oocyte maturation, and GnRH signaling.

conclusionsThis study provides a starting point for further experimental investigations into chicken circRNAs and casts a light on the understanding of follicle development.
