Intracranial Infections in Neurological Surgery: The Changes of Circular RNA Expression and Their Possible Function Mechanism.
Article in BioMed research international, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
methodscircRNA expression was analysed in six cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from three patients of the infectious and noninfectious phases using an Arraystar Human circRNA Array. Differentially altered circRNAs were validated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) in the 66 CSF samples of 33 patients of the infectious and noninfectious phases.
resultsFirstly, 142 circRNAs were found significantly different in 6 CSF samples of the infection and noninfection phases of 3 patients. Fourteen circRNAs with the top largest fold changes were chosen from the 142 circRNAs for PCR validation in the same 6 CSF samples of 3 patients. Three circRNAs were selected to be validated in 60 CSF samples of 30 patients using the PCR test. In infection CSF, an upregulated hsa_circRNA_402632 and downregulated hsa_circRNA_008636 and hsa_circRNA_405481 were confirmed by PCR test. A bioinformatics analysis was used to investigate the function mechanism of the 3 circRNAs. hsa_circRNA_402632 is enriched in the insulin resistance pathway, the FoxO and AMPK signaling pathways are the most important pathways for hsa_circRNA_008636 gene expression, and hsa_circRNA_405481 is enriched in the endometrial cancer signaling pathway, Fc epsilon RI signaling pathway, and TGF-beta signaling pathway.
conclusionshsa_circRNA_402632, hsa_circRNA_008636, and hsa_circRNA_405481 may be potential diagnostic markers for central nervous system infection after neurological surgery.
