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-functioning pituitary adenomas (NFPAs) are the most common pituitary tumors, and some exhibit locally invasive or even clinically aggressive behavior. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a reinvented class of non-coding RNAs that play important roles in tumor initiation and progression.CircRNA microarray assays were performed in 4 invasive and 4 non-invasive NFPAs, and 4 typically differential expression circRNAs were selected for validation using quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. The diagnostic and prognostic values of tested cirRNAs were further evaluated. Bioinformatics analysis and a literature review of potential miRNAs targets involved in pituitary tumor invasion were performed.A specific circRNA expression profile was detected between invasive and non-invasive NFPAs, including 91 upregulated and 61 downregulated circRNAs in invasive tumors. The dysregulation of the 4 circRNAs has been confirmed. The expression of hsa_circRNA_102597, a downregulated circRNA, was significantly correlated with tumor diameter (P < .05) and Knosp grade (P < .01). Hsa_circRNA_102597 alone or in combined with Ki-67 index was able to accurately differentiate invasive from non-invasive NFPAs as well as predict tumor progression/recurrence. Fourteen aberrantly expressed circRNAs might be involved in the invasiveness of pituitary adenomas via seven predicted potential miRNA targets.CircRNAs are participated in pituitary tumor invasion, and may be used as novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in NFPAs.
