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

aimThis study investigates the expression profile of circRNA in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) cirrhosis and identifies the underlying pathogenesis of core genes of NASH cirrhosis.

methodsThe GEO 134146 dataset was obtained from GEO database. EdgeR software was used to analyze the differential expression of circRNA between NASH cirrhosis samples and normal samples, and Starbase and miRWalk databases were used to predict the targeted miRNA and mRNA. The protein-protein interaction network of these target genes was established by searching the string database of interacting genes, Cytoscape and Mcode analysis. In addition, David and Omicshare were used to analyze the functional enrichment and pathway enrichment of target genes.

resultsWe evaluated 99 differentially expressed circRNAs, 27 of which were up-regulated, and 72 were down-regulated. A regulatory network consisting of 10 circRNAs, 30 miRNAs, and 1217 mRNAs was further constructed. The differential expression of circRNA is closely related to the functions of "target gene transcriptional regulation", "protein binding", "serine/threonine kinase", etc. The difference in circRNA is mainly related to the "MAPK" signaling pathway and the "FoxO" signaling pathway.

conclusionsThis study confirmed the abnormal regulation of circRNA in NASH cirrhosis. Bioinformatic analysis showed that abnormal expression of circRNA might be related to the occurrence and development of NASH cirrhosis.
