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

backgroundThis study aimed to identify the differentially expressed circular RNAs (circRNAs) between human abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and the control group.

methodsHigh-throughput sequencing was applied to determine the circRNA expression profiles of 4 paired aortic samples. Real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was carried out to testify 6 randomly selected dysregulated circRNAs. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes and Gene ontology (GO) analysis were conducted for functional annotation of the parental genes. Additionally, interaction networks between circRNA and 5 putative microRNA (miRNA) partners were constructed.

resultsFinally, 411 differentially expressed circRNAs were discovered, including 266 downregulated and 145 upregulated circRNAs. Compared with the control group, the expression level of hsa (Homo sapiens) _circ_0005360 (LDLR) and hsa_circ_0002168 (TMEM189) were proved significantly lower in the AAA group by qRT-PCR. Regarding upregulated circRNAs, the most enriched GO molecular function, biological process and cellular component terms were poly(A) RNA binding, negative regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter and nucleoplasm, respectively. Moreover, circRNA/miRNA interaction networks showed that hsa_circ_0005360/miR-181b and hsa_circ_0002168/miR-15a axis might have a regulative role in human AAA.

conclusionsThis study revealed new circRNAs potentially related to the pathogenesis of AAA. Further experimental studies are warranted to clarify the potential molecular mechanisms.
