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

In recent years, research on the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and its associated-colorectal cancer has been well documented to involve environmental, genetic, immune, and intestinal microbiota factors. Evidence indicates that, regardless of the current high global incidence of IBD with over 3.5 million cases in Europe and North America only, it continues to emerge in newly industrialized countries across Asia, Middle East, and South America. Individuals with IBD have significant increased risk of gastrointestinal and extra-intestinal malignancies, particularly, colorectal cancer (CRC) and lymphomas. Among the significant areas of exploration in IBD and its associated-CRC is the search for effective and reliable diagnostic and prognostic markers, and treatment targets. To this effect, the role of non-coding RNAs in IBD and its associated-CRC has attracted research attention, among which microRNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) get more detailed exploration while little is known about circular RNAs (circRNAs). This review focuses on the emerging role of circRNAs in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of IBD and its associated-CRC. It introduces the biogenesis of circRNAs and brings an up-to-date report on those found within IBD and CRC environment, as well as their participation toward the promotion or suppression of the conditions, and their diagnostic potentials.
