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 an endogenous class of RNA molecules with both ends covalently linked in a circle. Although their expression pattern in the mammalian brain has been well studied, the characteristics and functions of circRNAs in retinas remain unknown. To reveal the whole expression profiles of circRNAs in the neural retina, we investigated retinal RNAs of human, monkey, mouse, pig, zebrafish and tree shrew and detected thousands of circRNAs showing conservation and variation in the retinas across different vertebrate species. We further investigated one of the abundant circRNAs, circPDE4B, identified in human retina. Silencing of circPDE4B significantly inhibited the proliferation of human A549 cells. Functional assays demonstrated that circPDE4B could sponge miR-181C, thereby altering the cell phenotype. We have explored the retinal circRNA repertoires across human and different vertebrates, which provide new insights into the important role of circRNAs in the vertebrate retinas, as well as in related human diseases.
