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

backgroundCircular RNAs (circRNAs) may function as the decoys for microRNAs (miRNAs) or proteins, the templates for translation, and the sources of pseudogene generation. The purpose of this study is to determine the diagnostic circRNAs, which are related to lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), that adsorb miRNAs on the basis of the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) hypothesis.

methodsThe differentially expressed circRNAs (DEcircRNAs) in LUAD were revealed by the microarray data (GSE101586 and GSE101684) that were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The miRNAs that were targeted by the DEcircRNAs were predicted with the CircInteractome, and the target mRNAs of the miRNAs were found by the miRDB and the TargetScan. The ceRNA network was built by the Cytoscape. The potential biological roles and the regulatory mechanisms of the circRNAs were investigated by the Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis. The expression of the host genes of circRNAs was examined by the Ualcan. The survival analysis was performed by the Kaplan-Meier plotter.

resultsIn comparison with normal lung tissues, LUAD tissues contained 7 overlapping cancer-specific DEcircRNAs with 294 miRNA response elements (MREs). Among the 7 DEcircRNAs, 3 circRNAs (hsa_circ_0072088, hsa_circ_0003528, and hsa_circ_0008274) were upregulated and 4 circRNAs (hsa_circ_0003162, hsa_circ_0029426, hsa_circ_0049271, and hsa_circ_0043256) were downregulated. A circRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory network, which included 33 differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRNAs) and 2007 differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs), was constructed. These mRNAs were enriched in the biological function of cell-cell adhesion, response to hypoxia, and stem cell differentiation and were involved in the PI3K-Akt signaling, HIF-1 signaling, and cAMP signaling pathways.

conclusionOur results indicated that 7 DEcircRNAs could have diagnostic value for LUAD. Additionally, the circRNAs-mediated ceRNA network might provide a novel perspective into unraveling the pathogenesis and progression of LUAD.
