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

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play a crucial role in cancer development and progression. This study aimed to identify potential circRNA biomarkers for osteosarcoma. Articles published from January 2010 to September 2023 were searched across eight databases to compare circRNA expression profiles in osteosarcoma and control samples (human, animal and cell lines). Meta-analysis was conducted under a random effects model. Subgroup analysis of circRNAs in different samples and tissues was performed. Diagnostic value was evaluated using receiver operator characteristic curves. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis explored functions of circRNA host genes. A circRNA-miRNA-mRNA axis depicted the regulatory mechanism in osteosarcoma. Among 1356 circRNAs with differential expression were identified across 226 original studies, only 74 were reported in at least three published sub-studies. Meta-analysis identified 58 dysregulated circRNAs (52 upregulated and 6 downregulated). Eleven circRNAs consistently showed dysregulation in tissues and cell lines, with hsa_circ_0005721 showing potential as a circulating biomarker in osteosarcoma. Sensitivity analysis demonstrated 97 % consistency. The overall area under the curve was 0.87 (95 % CI, 0.83-0.89). GO and KEGG enrichment analyses revealed host gene involvement in cancer. The circRNA-miRNA-mRNA axis revealed the regulatory axis and interactions within osteosarcoma specifically. This study demonstrates circRNAs as potential diagnostic biomarkers for osteosarcoma. Consistently reported dysregulated circRNAs are potential biomarkers in osteosarcoma pathogenesis, with hsa_circ_0005721 as a potential circulating biomarker for diagnosis and treatment.
