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

Naturally occurring circular RNAs efficiently impair miRNA functions. Synthetic circular RNAs may thus serve as potent agents for miRNA inhibition. Their therapeutic effect critically relies on (i) the identification of optimal miRNA targets, (ii) the optimization of decoy structures and (iii) the development of efficient formulations for their use as drugs. In this study, we extensively explored the functional relevance of miR-21-5p in cancer cells. Analyses of cancer transcriptomes reveal that miR-21-5p is the by far most abundant miRNA in human cancers. Deletion of the
