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

CircRNAs have been reported to play essential roles in regulating immunity and inflammation, which may be an important regulatory factor in the development of vitiligo. However, the expression profile of circRNAs and their potential biological functions in vitiligo have not been reported so far. In our study we found there are 64 dysregulated circRNAs and 14 dysregulated miRNAs in the patients with vitiligo. Through the correlation analysis, we obtained 12 dysregulated circRNAs and 5 dysregulated miRNAs, forming 48 relationships in the circRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory network. Gene Ontology analysis indicated dysregulated circRNAs in vitiligo is closely related to the disorder of the metabolic pathway. The KEGG pathway of dysregulation of circRNAs mainly enriched in the biological processes such as ubiquitin mediated proteolysis, endocytosis and RNA degradation, and in Jak-STAT signaling pathway. Therefore, we found the circRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory network are involved in the regulation of numerous melanocyte functions, and these dysregulated circRNAs may closely related to the melanocyte metabolism. Our study provides a theoretical basis for studying the vitiligo pathogenesis from the perspective of circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network.
