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

CircRNAs, a class of endogenous non-coding RNAs with closed-loop structures, have attracted increasing attention because of their good stability, high specificity of tissue expression, long half-life, and highly conserved sequence. CircRNAs have multiple biological functions, including miRNA sponge, transcription regulator, protein translation, interaction with protein, RNA maturation, and so on. These functions indicate the important role of circRNAs in tumorigenesis and malignant progression and their potential as potent diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic molecules. In recent years, an increasing body of evidence suggests that circRNAs play a crucial role in proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis of lung cancer cells. Therefore, circRNAs have gradually become a research focus in the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer patients. This review summarizes the classification, biogenesis, and function of circRNAs, and discusses the role of circRNAs in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of lung cancer patients.
