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 RNA (circRNA) has recently gained attention for its emerging biological activities, relevance to disease, potential as biomarkers, and promising an alternative modality for RNA vaccines. Nevertheless, sequencing circRNAs has presented challenges. In this context, we introduce a novel circRNA sequencing method called Induro-RT mediated circRNA-sequencing (IMCR-seq), which relies on a group II intron reverse transcriptase with robust rolling circle reverse transcription activity. The IMCR-seq protocol eliminates the need for conventional circRNA enrichment methods such as rRNA depletion and RNaseR digestion yet achieved the highest circRNA enrichment and detected 6-1000 times more circRNAs for the benchmarked human samples compared to other methods. IMCR-seq is applicable to any organism, capable of detecting circRNAs of longer than 7000 nucleotides, and is effective on samples as small as 10 ng of total RNA. These enhancements render IMCR-seq suitable for clinical samples, including disease tissues and liquid biopsies. We demonstrated the clinical relevance of IMCR-seq by detecting cancer-specific circRNAs as potential biomarkers from IMCR-seq results on lung tumor tissues together with blood plasma samples from both a healthy individual and a lung cancer patient. In summary, IMCR-seq presents an efficient and versatile circRNA sequencing method with high potential for research and clinical applications.
