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

backgroundAs the most frequent type of cyanotic congenital heart disease (CHD), tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) has a relatively poor prognosis without corrective surgery. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) represent a novel class of endogenous noncoding RNAs that regulate target gene expression posttranscriptionally in heart development. Here, we investigated the potential role of the ceRNA network in the pathogenesis of TOF.

methodsTo identify circRNA expression profiles in TOF, microarrays were used to screen the differentially expressed circRNAs between 3 TOF and 3 control human myocardial tissue samples. Then, a dysregulated circRNA-associated ceRNA network was constructed using the established multistep screening strategy.

resultsIn summary, a total of 276 differentially expressed circRNAs were identified, including 214 upregulated and 62 downregulated circRNAs in TOF samples. By constructing the circRNA-associated ceRNA network based on bioinformatics data, a total of 19 circRNAs, 9 miRNAs, and 34 mRNAs were further screened. Moreover, by enlarging the sample size, the qPCR results validated the positive correlations between hsa_circ_0007798 and HIF1A.

conclusionsThe findings in this study provide a comprehensive understanding of the ceRNA network involved in TOF biology, such as the hsa_circ_0007798/miR-199b-5p/HIF1A signalling axis, and may offer candidate diagnostic biomarkers or potential therapeutic targets for TOF. In addition, we propose that the ceRNA network regulates TOF progression.
