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

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Despite the recent advent of promising new targeted therapies, lung cancer diagnostic strategies still have difficulty in identifying the disease at an early stage. Therefore, the characterizations of more sensible and specific cancer biomarkers have become an important goal for clinicians. Circular RNAs are covalently close, endogenous RNAs without 5' end caps or 3'poly (A) tails and have been characterized by high stability, abundance, and conservation as well as display cell/tissue/developmental stage-specific expressions. Numerous studies have confirmed that circRNAs act as microRNA (miRNA) sponges, RNA-binding protein, and transcriptional regulators; some circRNAs even act as translation templates that participate in multiple pathophysiological processes. Growing evidence have confirmed that circRNAs are involved in the pathogenesis of lung cancers through the regulation of proliferation and invasion, cell cycle, autophagy, apoptosis, stemness, tumor microenvironment, and chemotherapy resistance. Moreover, circRNAs have emerged as potential biomarkers for lung cancer diagnosis and prognosis and targets for developing new treatments. In this review, we will summarize recent progresses in identifying the biogenesis, biological functions, potential mechanisms, and clinical applications of these molecules for lung cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and targeted therapy.
