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 RNAs (circRNAs) have displayed dysregulated expression in several types of cancer. However, the functions of the majority of circRNAs in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remain unknown. The present study aimed to investigate the expression, functions and molecular mechanisms of circRNAs in PDAC. The circRNAs, mRNAs and the microRNA (miRNAs) expression profiles were obtained from three Gene Expression Omnibus microarray datasets, and a circRNA-miRNA-mRNA and circRNA-miRNA-hubgene network was established. The interactions between proteins were analyzed using the Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins database, and hubgenes were identified using the MCODE plugin. A total of eight differentially expressed circRNAs (DEcircRNAs), 44 differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRNAs), and 2,052 differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs) were identified. The present study successfully constructed a circRNA-miRNA-mRNA competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network based on four circRNAs, six miRNAs and 111 mRNAs in PDAC. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathways analyses indicated that DEmRNAs may participate in the pathogenesis and progression of PDAC. The protein-protein interaction network and module analysis identified six hubgenes (THBS1, FN1, TIMP3, TGFB2, ITGA1 and ITGA3). Furthermore, the circRNA-miRNA-hubgene regulatory modules were constructed based on the three DEcircRNAs, one DEmiRNAs and five DEmRNAs. In conclusion, the results of the present study improve the current understanding of the pathogenesis of PDAC.
