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

Non-coding RNAs were established in the last decade as a new valuable biomarker class for human diseases. Specifically, circular RNAs (circRNAs) were only recently discovered as a new large group of non-coding RNAs that, due to their circular configuration, are metabolically more stable compared to their linear counterparts and therefore highly suitable for biomarker use. Based on high-throughput sequencing, the catalogs of endogenous circRNAs with disease relevance and correlation continue to grow steadily. As a consequence, circRNAs emerged as novel and attractive biomarkers, indicated by numerous recent publications. Here we would like to stress the need of essential quality criteria for validation and characterization of circular RNAs. In addition to high-throughput sequencing, classical biochemical methods are essential and should be applied for the characterization of this special class of RNAs, in particular to convincingly confirm their circularity.
