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

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of single-stranded, closed RNA molecules with unique functions that are ubiquitously expressed in all eukaryotes. The biogenesis of circRNAs is regulated by specific cis-acting elements and trans-acting factors in humans and animals. circRNAs mainly exert their biological functions by acting as microRNA sponges, forming R-loops, interacting with RNA-binding proteins, or being translated into polypeptides or proteins in human and animal cells. Genome-wide identification of circRNAs has been performed in multiple plant species, and the results suggest that circRNAs are abundant and ubiquitously expressed in plants. There is emerging compelling evidence to suggest that circRNAs play essential roles during plant growth and development as well as in the responses to biotic and abiotic stress. However, compared with recent advances in human and animal systems, the roles of most circRNAs in plants are unclear at present. Here we review the identification, biogenesis, function, and mechanism of action of plant circRNAs, which will provide a fundamental understanding of the characteristics and complexity of circRNAs in plants.
