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

backgroundIschemic stroke is a disease with high rate of death and disability worldwide. CircRNAs, as a novel type of non-coding RNAs, lacking 5' caps and 3' poly-A tails, has been associated with ischemic stroke. This study aimed to investigate key circRNAs related to ischemic stroke.

methodsRNA sequencing was performed obtain the circRNA expression profiles from peripheral whole blood of three ischemic stroke patients and three healthy individuals. Through bioinformatic analysis, differentially expressed circRNAs (DEcircRNAs) were identified, and GO and pathway analyses for the host genes of DEcircRNAs were conducted. The expression levels of selected circRNAs were analyzed with qRT-PCR. To further explore the functions of key circRNAs, a DEcircRNA-miRNA interaction network was constructed.

resultsA total of 736 DEcircRNAs were detected in ischemic stroke. Functional annotation of host genes of DEcircRNAs revealed several significantly enriched pathways, including Fc epsilon RI signaling pathway, B cell receptor signaling pathway, and T cell receptor signaling pathway. The qRT-PCR results were largely in keeping with our RNA-seq data. The ROC curve analyses indicated that hsa_circ_0000745, hsa_circ_0001459, hsa_circ_0003694 and hsa_circ_0007706 with relatively high diagnostic value. A circRNA-miRNA network, including 1544 circRNA-miRNA pairs, 456 circRNAs and 4 miRNAs, was obtained.

conclusionsThe results of our study may help to elucidate the specific mechanism underlying ischemic stroke.
