The emerging role and clinical significance of circRNAs in papillary thyroid cancer.
Review in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is the most common type of thyroid malignancy, and its global incidence has been gradually increasing. For advanced PTC, the mortality rates are also increasing yearly. Despite advancements in diagnosis and treatment, some advanced PTC exhibit aggressive behaviors, leading to a poor prognosis. CircRNAs are a class of non-coding RNAs characterized by a covalently closed loop structure. Their stability and abundance have positioned them as promising diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers. Numerous studies have identified dysregulated circRNAs in PTC tissues and cell lines, suggesting their involvement in PTC initiation and progression. In this review, we provide an overview of circRNAs and systematically discuss their role in PTC. CircRNAs affect cancer progression by regulating the Wnt/β-catenin, PI3K/AKT, MAPK pathways, and others. Furthermore, circRNAs have been implicated in PTC metastasis and chemoresistance. We highlight their potential value as diagnostic markers, therapeutic targets, and prognostic indicators. In conclusion, circRNAs play a critical role in PTC, and dysregulated circRNAs influence multiple signaling pathways and cellular processes involved in tumorigenesis and metastasis. It represents a promising avenue for advancing the diagnosis, management, and treatment of PTC.
