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

Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is a prevalent haematologic malignancy characterized by significant heterogeneity. Despite the application of aggressive therapeutic approaches, AML remains associated with poor prognosis. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) constitute a unique class of single-stranded RNAs featuring covalently closed loop structures that are ubiquitous across species. These molecules perform crucial regulatory functions in the pathogenesis of various diseases through diverse mechanisms, including acting as miRNA sponges, interacting with DNA or proteins, and encoding functional proteins/polypeptides. Recently, numerous circRNAs have been confirmed to have aberrant expression patterns in AML patients. In particular, certain circRNAs are closely associated with specific clinicopathological characteristics and thus have great potential as diagnostic/prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets in AML. Herein, we systematically summarize the biogenesis, degradation, and functional mechanisms of circRNAs while highlighting their clinical relevance. We also outline a series of online databases and analytical tools available to facilitate circRNA research. Finally, we discuss the current challenges and future research priorities in this evolving field.
