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 widespread and diverse covalently closed circular endogenous RNAs that exert crucial functions in regulating gene expression in mammals. However, the function and regulation mechanism of circRNAs in lower vertebrates are still unknown. Here, we discovered a novel circRNA derived from PIKfyve, named circPIKfyve, that is related to the antiviral responses in teleost fish. The results showed that circPIKfyve plays essential roles in host antiviral immunity and inhibition of SCRV replication. Moreover, we also found that the antiviral effect inhibited by miR-21-3p could be reversed with the addition of circPIKfyve. In mechanism, our data revealed that circPIKfyve is a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) of MAVS by sponging miR-21-3p, leading to activation of NF-κB/IRF3 pathway, which then enhance the innate antiviral responses. In addition, we firstly found that RNA binding protein QKI is involved in the formation and regulation of circPIKfyve. Our results provided a strong basis that circRNAs to play a regulatory role in antiviral immune responses in teleost fish.
