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

As a class of endogenous non‑coding RNAs, circular RNAs (circRNAs) are produced by an event known as back‑splicing. Although circRNAs were initially considered to be the product of abnormal splicing events, increasing evidence has shown their vital role in the development of various diseases, especially malignant tumors. Tumor metastasis is the leading cause of tumor deterioration and cancer‑associated mortality, and involves biological changes to malignant cells. A number of circRNAs can mediate tumor progression, especially tumor metastasis. Furthermore, due to their unique structural features, circRNAs are highly stable in body fluids, and have temporal and tissue specificity, making them potentially ideal non‑invasive biomarkers for sensitive monitoring of tumor changes. The present review focuses on circRNAs associated with tumor metastasis and discusses their functional mechanisms. Furthermore, the current review summarizes advances regarding circRNAs as biomarkers and detection strategies.
