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
objectiveThe objective of this study was to identify the N6-methyladenosine (m6A)- circHECA molecule in secondary hair follicles (SHFs) of cashmere goats, and generate its potential regulatory network, as well as explore the potential relationship between transcriptional pattern of m6A-circHECA and promoter methylation of its host gene (HECA).
methodsThe validation of circHECA m6A sites was performed using methylation immunoprecipitation (Me-RIP) along with reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) technique. The nucleus and cytoplasm localizations of m6AcircHECA were performed using SHF stem cells of cashmere goats with RT-qPCR analysis. Based on in-silico analysis, the regulatory networks of m6A-circHECA were generated with related signal pathway enrichment. The methylation level of promoter region of m6A-circHECA host gene (HECA) was assessed by the bisulfite sequencing PCR (BSPPCR) technique.
resultsThe m6A-circHECA was confirmed to contain four m6A modification sites including m6A-213, m6A-297, m6A-780, and m6A-927, and it was detected mainly in cytoplasm of the SHF stem cells of cashmere goats. The integrated regulatory network analysis showed directly or indirectly complex regulatory relationships between m6A-circHECA of cashmere goats and its potential target molecules: miRNAs, mRNAs, and proteins. The regulatory network and pathway enrichment indicated that m6A-circHECA might play multiple roles in the SHF physiology process of cashmere goats through directly or indirectly interacting or regulating its potential target molecules. A higher methylation level of promoter region of HECA gene in SHFs of cashmere goats might cause the lower expression of m6A-circHECA.
conclusionThe m6A-circHECA might play multiple roles in SHF physiology process of cashmere goats through miRNA mediated pathways along with directly or indirectly interaction with its target proteins. The promoter methylation of m6A-circHECA host gene (HECA) most likely was implicated in its expression inhibition in SHFs of cashmere goats.
