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), a novel class of non-coding RNA, are produced by back-splicing and were initially considered to be by-products of splicing. In recent years, computational technology and experimental evidence have revealed the tremendous amounts and potential physiological or pathological functions of this novel non-coding RNA species. At present, the roles of circRNAs in neurological diseases, immune diseases, and cancers have come to light. In addition, increasing studies have identified the expression profiles of circRNA in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and revealed the involvement of circRNAs in the pathogenesis of CVDs which are the leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide, and result in substantial health and financial burden. Despite current improvements in diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, survival and prognosis of CVDs patients remain relatively poor. Due to the involvements of circRNAs in CVDs and their outstanding characteristics of high stability, conservation, and tissue- or developmental-specificity, circRNA-based biomarkers or gene therapy may be effective approaches to reduce CVDs burden. In the review, we systematically summarized the formation mechanisms, functional models, and research approaches of circRNAs, and several circRNAs involved in CVDs. Finally, we proposed that developing circRNAs as biomarkers or circRNA-based therapeutic strategies based on biological or physical materials may be promising to diagnose or treat CVDs in the future.
