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
objectivesThe circRNAs-miRNAs-mRNAs competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks involve in regulating the development of various inflammation-associated diseases, including allergic rhinitis (AR), and the present study aimed to identify novel AR-associated ceRNA networks.
methodsThe mRNA and protein levels of the associated genes were, respectively, examined by real-time qPCR and western blot analysis. The targeting sites in miR-556-5p and NLRP3 were validated by performing dual-luciferase reporter gene system assay. ELISA was used to measure inflammatory cytokines secretion, and CCK-8 assay was conducted to determine cell proliferation.
resultsHere, we first identified a hsa_circ_0000520/miR-556-5p/NLRP3 signaling cascade triggered epithelium pyroptosis and inflammation to regulate the development of AR in cellular and mice models. Specifically, the pyroptosis-associated biomarkers (NLRP3, ASC, IL-1β and IL-18) and pro-inflammatory cytokines (OVA-specific IgE, TNF-α, IL-4 and IL-5) were upregulated in the nasal subjects collected from AR patients and ovalbumin (OVA)-induced AR mice models, compared to their normal counterparts. Next, using the ceRNA networks analysis software, we screened out a hsa_circ_0000520/miR-556-5p axis that potentially regulated NLRP3 in the human nasal epithelial cell line. Mechanistically, miR-556-5p targeted both hsa_circ_0000520 and 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of NLRP3, and knock-down of hsa_circ_0000520 inactivated NLRP3-mediated epithelium pyroptosis through miR-556-5p in a ceRNA-dependent manner. Furthermore, we proved that both hsa_circ_0000520 ablation and miR-556-5p overexpression suppressed NLRP3-mediated cell pyroptosis to attenuate AR in mice models.
conclusionsTaken together, we evidenced that targeting the hsa_circ_0000520/miR-556-5p/NLRP3 signaling pathway was a novel AQ1strategy to ameliorate AR progression; however, future clinical data are still required to validate our preliminary results.
