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

backgroundcircular RNAs (circRNAs) play a crucial role in many physiological and pathological processes including juvenile-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (JSLE). The aim of this study is to investigate the role of circRNA hsa_circ_0008945 in JSLE and evaluate its significance as diagnosing biomarker.

methodsRT-qPCR was applied to detect the level of circ_0008945 in JSLE and controls. The Spearman correlation test assessed the correlation between circ_0008945 and clinical variables. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was calculated for evaluating the diagnostic value. Overexpression or knockdown of circ_0008945 in primary peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) was performed to further examine its function in apoptosis.

resultsRT-qPCR revealed that there were significantly higher levels of hsa_circ_0008945 in PMBCs from JSLE patients (p < 0.001) compared to healthy controls. In addition, there were significant associations between hsa_circ_0008945 level and the level of C3, C4, anti-ds DNA, IgG, CRP and ESR (p < 0.05) but not associated with the level of Ig A and Ig M. ROC curve of the circ_0008945 showed that the AUC was 0.790 and it may potentially be used as a novel biomarker for the diagnosis of JSLE. The results showed that overexpression of circ-0008945 increased the apoptosis of PBMCs while knockdown of circ-0008945 by siRNA decreased the apoptosis of PBMCs, supporting that circ-0008945 promoted the apoptosis in PBMCs and contributed to the pathogenesis of JSLE.

conclusionThe role of circ_0008945 was first investigated in JSLE and proposed herein their possible contribution to the pathogenesis of JSLE. This study provides not only novel insight into the pathological mechanisms but also the potential value as a useful biomarker for JSLE.
