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 RNA (circRNA), a novel type of endogenous non-coding RNA, plays natural miRNA sponge effect that represses the activities of corresponding miRNAs through binding with them, thus modulating transcriptional expression of genes. Recent studies indicate that circRNAs are significantly enriched in the brain and some of them are derived from synaptic protein-coding genes. In addition, miRNAs are involved in synaptic plasticity, memory formation, and cocaine addiction. However, the role of circRNAs in cocaine reward is unclear. This study aimed to investigate the expression profile of striatal circRNAs in the mice after cocaine self-administration. By using circRNA microarray analysis, we observed that 90 striatal circRNAs were differentially expressed in cocaine self-administering mice, of which 18 circRNAs were up-regulated and 72 down-regulated. Six circRNAs were selected randomly for validation by using quantitative reverse transcription-PCR, and their expression levels showed consistency with microarray analysis. We backward predicted the circRNAs and their binding sites of miRNAs associated with neuroplasticity. In functional validation test, mmu_circRNA_002381 may modulate the transcription of certain genes associated with neuroplasticity, such as limk1 and bdnf. Taken together, circRNAs may participate in cocaine behavioral effect via interacting with miRNAs. Our findings reveal a potential role of circRNAs in cocaine effect.
