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) are a class of novel RNA molecules featured by single-strand covalently closed circular structure, which not only are extensively found in eukaryotes and are highly conserved, but also conduct paramount roles in the occurrence and progression of pancreatic cancer (PC) through diverse mechanisms. As recent studies have demonstrated, circRNAs typically exhibit tissue-specific and cell specific expression patterns, with strong potential as biomarkers for disease diagnosis and prognosis. On the basis of their localization and specific interactions with DNA, RNA, and proteins, circRNAs are considered to possess specific biological functions by acting as microRNA (miRNA) sponges, RNA binding protein (RBP) sponges, transcriptional regulators, molecular scaffolds and translation templates. On that account, further addressing the technical difficulties in the detection and research of circRNAs and filling gaps in their biological knowledge will definitely push ahead this comparatively young research field and bring circRNAs to the forefront of clinical practice. Thus, this review systematically summarizes the biogenesis, function, molecular mechanisms, biomarkers and therapeutic targets of circRNAs in PC.
