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

backgroundThe competing endogenous RNA- (ceRNA-) mediated regulatory mechanisms are known to play a pivotal role in intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). Our research intended to establish a ceRNA regulatory network related to IDD through bioinformatics analyses.

methodsThe expression profiles of circRNA, miRNA, and mRNA were obtained from the public Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets. Then, we use sequence-based bioinformatics methods to select differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs), microRNAs (DEmiRNAs), or circRNAs (DEcircRNAs) related to IDD. We used ChEA3 to verify the targets of transcription factors (TFs). Then, we used DAVID to annotate the DEmRNAs. Finally, we constructed a potentially circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network related to IDD by predicting in the database (ENCORI, TargetScan, miRecords, miRmap, and circBank).

resultsWe identified 31 common DEmRNAs by Venn analysis, of which MMP2 was regarded as the key hub genes. Simultaneously, miR-423-5p and miR-185-5p were predicted as the upstream molecules of MMP2. Furthermore, a total of six DEcircRNAs were predicted as the upstream circRNAs of miR-423-5p and miR-185-5p. Then, a potential circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network related to IDD was constructed by bioinformatics analysis.

conclusionA comprehensive ceRNA regulatory network was constructed, which was found to be significant in IDD progression.
