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
backgroundAs one of the most common chronic diseases in the world, osteoporosis occurs especially in postmenopausal women. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are emerging as major drivers in human disease. The aim of the present study was to analyse circRNA expression profiles in osteoporosis and to explore the clinical significance and the regulatory molecular mechanism of hsa_circ_0006859 during osteoporosis.
methodsExosomes were isolated from clinically collected serum samples. A circRNA microarray was performed to screen differentially expressed circRNAs. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and western blot were performed to analyse target gene mRNA expression and protein expression. Alizarin red staining (ARS) was performed to evaluate the mineralization ability of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs). Oil Red O staining was performed to evaluate the lipid droplet formation ability of hBMSCs. Bioinformatics analysis and the luciferase reporter assay were performed to investigate the interaction between two genes.
resultsHsa_circ_0006859 was identified as one of the most upregulated circRNAs in the microarray analysis. Hsa_circ_0006859 in exosomes was upregulated in osteoporosis patients compared to healthy controls. Hsa_circ_0006859 differentiated osteopenia or osteoporosis patients from healthy controls with high sensitivity and specificity. Hsa_circ_0006859 suppressed osteoblastic differentiation and promoted adipogenic differentiation of hBMSCs. Hsa_circ_0006859 directly bound to miR-431-5p, and ROCK1 was identified as a novel target gene of miR-431-5p. Hsa_circ_0006859 is a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) of miR-431-5p that promotes ROCK1 expression. Hsa_circ_0006859 suppressed osteogenesis and promoted adipogenesis by sponging miR-431-5p to upregulate ROCK1.
conclusionsExosomal hsa_circ_0006859 is a potential biomarker for postmenopausal osteoporosis and controls the balance between osteogenesis and adipogenesis in hBMSCs by sponging miR-431-5p.
