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 of reviewCircular RNAs (circRNAs) are RNA transcripts derived from fragments of pre-messenger RNAs through a back-splicing process. An advantage that rises from their circular covalently closed conformation is their high stability, when compared with their linear counterparts. The current review focuses on the emerging roles of circRNAs in osteoporosis, including in osteogenic differentiation and osteoclastogenesis. Their potential as osteoporosis biomarkers will also be discussed. RECENT

findingsAlthough firstly described as non-coding, some of these single-stranded RNAs were recently reported to possess protein-coding capacity. On the other hand, the circRNAs exhibit cell and tissue-specific patterns at the transcriptome level in eukaryotes and are regulated throughout the development or disease progression. Even though thousands of these circular transcripts are listed and annotated, only a limited number of studies describe their biological role in bone processes. Recent evidence indicates inhibitory activator roles in both osteoblasts and osteoclasts differentiation and function. Latest screenings in the blood, plasma, or serum of osteoporosis patients support the potential for circRNA signature to be used as biomarkers in osteoporosis, but further validation is required. While intense research into circRNAs has been detailing their biological roles, there remains a need for standardization and further research to fulfil the future potential of this emerging and highly promising class of regulatory molecules.
