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

backgroundThe molecular complexity of neural retina development remains poorly studied. Knowledge of retinal neurogenesis regulation sheds light on retinal degeneration therapy exploration. Therefore, we integrated the time-series circRNA, lncRNA, miRNA, and mRNA expression profiles of the developing retina through whole-transcriptome sequencing. The key functional ncRNAs and the ceRNA network regulating retinal neurogenesis were identified.

resultsTranscriptomic analysis identified circRNA as the most variable ncRNA subtype. We screened a series of neurogenesis-related circRNAs, lncRNAs, and miRNAs using different strategies based on their diversified molecular functions. The expression of circCDYL, circATXN1, circDYM, circPRGRIP, lncRNA Meg3, and lncRNA Vax2os was validated by quantitative real-time PCR. These circRNAs and lncRNAs participate in neurotransmitter transport and multicellular organism growth through the intricate circRNA/lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA network.

conclusionWhole-transcriptome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis systematically screened key ncRNAs in retinal neurogenesis. The validated ncRNAs and their circRNA/lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA network involve neurotransmitter transport and multicellular organism growth during retinal development.
