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

backgroundAs a novel class of non-coding RNAs, the role of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in tumor biogenesis and progression has been proved in a number of human tumors; however, up to now, the relation between circRNAs and uterine leiomyomas (ULM) remains unclear.

methodsIn this study, we have estimated the expression level of CYP24A1 hsa_circ_0060927 in uterine leiomyoma and adjacent tissues considering the mediator complex subunit 12 gene (MED12) mutation profile by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCRs).

resultsUsing Sanger sequencing method, somatic mutations in the MED12 exon 2 were detected in 14 (35.90%) ULM samples, including 10 (71.43%) missense mutations and 4 (28.57%) in-frame deletions. Our results revealed that hsa_circ_0060927 was ectopically expressed in 33.33% of ULM tissues; although, this expression was independent of the MED12 mutation profile in the ULM samples.

conclusionsPresent results provide primary evidence for the role of circular RNAs in the leiomyoma development; however, further studies are essential to confirm the importance of these molecules as potential biomarkers for diagnosis and/or prognosis in ULM.
