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) are a class of non-coding RNAs with a special covalently closed circular structure, which is formed by precursor mRNA (pre-mRNA) through "back-splicing". CircRNAs are more stable than linear RNAs because they are resistant to exoribonucleases. Viral infections often cause abnormal expression of circRNAs, which could serve as novel biomarkers for the diagnosis of viral infections by detecting specific circRNAs in cells, body fluids, or tissues. CircRNAs also play a critical role in regulating host immune response and virus replication. Here, we reviewed the production and function of circRNAs, mainly focusing on their regulation on virus infection, to provide novel insights into the potential role of circRNAs as diagnostic marker or treatment targets for viral infection.
