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

A number of studies indicate that circular RNAs (circRNAs) play paramount roles in regulating the biological behavior of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). In this study, we investigated the underlying mechanism of circMELK in GBM. Real-time PCRs were used to examine the expression of circMELK in glioma tissues and normal brain tissues (NBTs). Localization of circMELK in GBM cells was estimated by fluorescence
