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

Cholesteatoma is a chronic disease that pathologically displays a benign tumor with excessive squamous epithelial cell proliferation in the middle ear. Clinically, however, it can manifest malignant behavior by destroying adjacent tissues and organs. Although previous studies have demonstrated that the pathogenesis of cholesteatoma is correlated with epigenetic dysregulation, the exact mechanism remains unclear. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been revealed as being abundantly expressed in various organisms and have been found to contribute to the regulation of many diseases. To date, no reports have elucidated their expression profiles and functions in cholesteatoma. In the present study, the circRNA expression profile in cholesteatoma was explored for the first time by using microarray analysis. We obtained a total of 355 significantly differentially expressed circRNAs in cholesteatoma, among which 101 were identified to be upregulated and 254 downregulated. By constructing circRNA‑lncRNA‑miRNA‑mRNA competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network, it was discovered that circRNAs may function as ceRNAs and contribute to the formation of cholesteatoma. These results provide novel insight into the pathogenesis of cholesteatoma and suggest circRNAs as potential promising therapeutic targets for cholesteatoma.
