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

backgroundOsteosarcoma (OS) is a common primary malignant bone tumour. Growing evidence suggests that circular RNAs (circRNAs) are closely related to the development of tumours. However, the function of circRNAs in OS remains unknown. Here, we aimed to determine the regulatory mechanisms of circRNAs in OS.

methodsThe expression profiles of OS circRNA (GSE96964), microRNA (GSE65071) and mRNA (GSE33382) were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database to identify differentially expressed circRNAs, miRNAs and mRNAs in OS. A ceRNA network was constructed based on circRNA-miRNA pairs and miRNA-mRNA pairs. MRNAs with significant prognostic differences were identified by the TARGET database in the network. Functional and pathway enrichment analyses were performed, and interactions between proteins were predicted using Cytoscape. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses were performed to elucidate the possible functions of these differentially expressed circRNAs.

resultsA total of 15 downregulated circRNAs, 136 upregulated miRNAs and 52 downregulated mRNAs were identified in OS. Finally, a circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network was constructed in OS based on 14 circRNAs, 24 miRNAs, and 52 mRNAs. GO and KEGG pathway analyses suggested that the mRNAs in the network may be involved in the pathogenesis and progression of OS. Four mRNAs identified by the TARGET database were significantly associated with OS survival prognosis. A circRNA-miRNA-mRNA subnetwork was constructed based on these four mRNAs.

conclusionOur results provide a deeper understanding of the regulatory mechanisms by which circRNAs compete for endogenous RNAs in OS.
