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

Purpose: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are abundant, stable, and evolutionarily conserved noncoding RNAs with impacts on cell proliferation, differentiation, invasion, apoptosis, and immunity by acting as an miRNA sponge. This study aimed to investigate the expression of circRNAs in vitiligo and analyze the differentially expressed circRNAs (DEcircRNAs) bioinformatically. Patients and Methods: Biopsies of five lesional and five nonlesional skins of patients with vitiligo and five healthy skins (control) were harvested in this study. The expression profiles of circRNAs and DEcircRNAs were determined by microarray analysis and qRT-PCR. Bioinformatics analysis was used to predict target genes of DEcircRNAs binding to miRNAs and their underlying functions. Meanwhile, a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network was constructed using Cytoscape. Results: A total of 817 and 508 DEcircRNAs were identified in lesional and nonlesional skins of patients with vitiligo, respectively. The results of hsa_circRNA_000957 and hsa_circRNA_101798 validation were consistent with our microarray analysis. Furthermore, 32 miRNA response elements (MREs) and related target genes of DEcircRNAs were identified, whose main functions were involved in the pathogenesis of vitiligo. Hsa_circRNA_000957 and hsa_circRNA_101798 might be candidate biomarkers for vitiligo. Conclusion: This study provides scientific clues for understanding the mechanism of vitiligo.
