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

A growing body of evidence has shown that circular RNA (circRNA) is a promising exosomal cancer biomarker candidate. However, global circRNA alterations in cancer and the underlying mechanism, essential for identification of ideal circRNA cancer biomarkers, remain under investigation. We comparatively analyzed the circRNA landscape in pan-cancer and pan-normal tissues. Using co-expression and LASSO regularization analyses, as well as a support vector machine, we analyzed 265 pan-cancer and 319 pan-normal tissues in order to identify the circRNAs with the highest ability to distinguish between pan-cancer and pan-normal tissues. We further studied their expression in plasma exosomes from patients with cancer and their relation with cancer mutations and tumor microenvironment landscape. We discovered that circRNA expression was globally reduced in pan-cancer tissues and plasma exosomes from cancer patients than in pan-normal tissues and plasma exosomes from healthy controls. We identified dynein axonemal heavy chain 14 (
