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

Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by elevated pulmonary microvascular permeability; however, the role of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in this process remains unclear. Our study aims to discover the mechanism underlying the role of circRNA in pulmonary microvascular permeability in ARDS. Methods: We developed an Results: The genome sequencing results identified 379 significantly upregulated circRNAs and 448 significantly downregulated circRNAs. The 10 circRNAs with the greatest degree of upregulation and the 10 circRNAs with the greatest degree of downregulation were identified. The GO enrichment analysis results indicated that differential circRNA expression may mediate the cellular response to DNA damage, including DNA repair. The KEGG analysis results indicated that the mechanism by which differential circRNA expression exerts these effects may involve the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) signaling pathway. The GO enrichment analysis of the target genes in the ceRNA network showed that the circRNAs were mainly involved in the fluid shear stress response, angiogenesis regulation, vascular development, and cell adhesion. Conclusions: The differential expression of circRNAs may play an important role in ARDS, especially in the control of HPMEC permeability. The circRNAs that were shown to have differential expression in response to vascular development and shear stress response could be used as biomarkers for the early prediction of ARDS disease and potential future therapeutic targets.
