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
backgroundCircular RNAs (circRNAs) are becoming a unique member of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) with emerging evidence of their regulatory roles in various cancers. However, with regards to pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), circRNAs biological functions remain largely unknown and worth investigation for potential therapeutic innovation.
methodsIn our previous study, next-generation sequencing was used to identify differentially expressed circRNAs in 3 pairs of PDAC and adjacent normal tissues. Further validation of circRHOBTB3 expression in PDAC tissues and cell lines and gain-and-loss function experiments verified the oncogenic role of circRHOBTB3. The mechanism of circRHOBTB3 regulatory role was validated by pull-down assays, RIP, luciferase reporter assays. The autophagy response of PANC-1 and MiaPaca-2 cells were detected by mCherry-GFP-LC3B labeling and confocal microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and protein levels of LC3B or p62 via Western blot.
resultscircRHOBTB3 is highly expressed in PDAC cell lines and tissues, which also promotes PDAC autophagy and then progression in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, circRHOBTB3 directly binds to miR-600 and subsequently acts as a miRNA-sponge to maintain the expression level of miR-600-targeted gene NACC1, which facilitates the autophagy response of PDAC cells for adaptation of proliferation via Akt/mTOR pathway. Moreover, the RNA-binding protein FUS (FUS) directly binds to pre-RHOBTB3 mRNA to mediate the biogenesis of circRHOBTB3. Clinically, circRHOBTB3, miR-600 and NACC1 expression levels are correlated with the prognosis of PDAC patients and serve as independent risk factors for PDAC patients.
conclusionsFUS-mediated circRHOBTB3 functions as a tumor activator to promote PDAC cell proliferation by modulating miR-600/NACC1/Akt/mTOR axis regulated autophagy.
