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

introductionCircular RNAs (circRNAs) exhibit selective expression in the brain and differential regulation in Alzheimer's disease (AD). To explore the role of circRNAs in AD, we investigated how circRNA expression varies between brain regions and with AD-related stress in human neuronal precursor cells (NPCs).

methodsRibosomal RNA-depleted hippocampus RNA-sequencing data were generated. Differentially regulated circRNAs in AD and related dementias were detected using CIRCexplorer3 and limma. circRNA results were validated using quantitative real-time PCR of cDNA from the brain and NPCs.

resultsWe identified 48 circRNAs that were significantly associated with AD. We observed that circRNA expression differed by dementia subtype. Using NPCs, we demonstrated that exposure to oligomeric tau elicits downregulation of circRNA similar to that observed in the AD brain. DISCUSSION: Our study shows that differential expression of circRNA can vary by dementia subtype and brain region. We also demonstrated that circRNAs can be regulated by AD-linked neuronal stress independently from their cognate linear messenger RNAs (mRNAs).
