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

Endometriosis is a developing inflammatory disorder, which arises from the migration and aberrant growth of endometrial cells in extrauterine areas in an estrogen-dependent fashion, representing an approximate prevalence of 15% among menstruating women. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) account for a special subtype of endogenous non-coding RNAs that act as significant regulators of numerous biological activities by controlling the abundance of cellular microRNAs, getting involved in post-transcriptional modifications, and contributing to protein translation. In this review, we summarized available evidence on alterations of circRNA expression in women with endometriosis, as well as elaborated on the mechanistic processes by which circRNAs participate in the pathogenesis of endometriosis, throwing the spotlight on the significance of circRNAs as possible diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic agents.
