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

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have revolutionized the treatment of several malignancies, including both hematological malignancies and solid tumors. However, the development of resistance to TKIs is a key clinical challenge, resulting in disease progression and therapeutic failure. CircRNAs, a class of covalently closed non-coding RNA molecules, are now recognized as key players in this process. Dysregulation of circRNAs leads to TKI resistance by influencing key pathways such as apoptosis, autophagy, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and alternative kinase activation. While challenges in clinical translation persist, advances in RNA-targeted technologies and detailed mechanistic assays are expected to enable application of circRNA-based interventions to overcome TKI resistance. This review summarizes the current knowledge on circRNAs in the context of TKI resistance in solid tumors, highlighting their functional roles, fundamental mechanisms, and possible clinical applications in bypassing drug resistance and refining cancer therapy outcomes.
