CircTarget: a comprehensive database of circRNA-target RNA interactions across multiple cell types.
Article in Nucleic acids research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are stable, widespread regulatory molecules produced primarily by back-splicing of pre-mRNAs, with critical roles in gene regulation and disease pathogenesis. While significant progress has been made in circRNA identification, their targets remain largely unexplored. To address this, we present CircTarget, the first comprehensive database of experimentally supported circRNA-target RNA interactions mapped at single-nucleotide resolution. By analyzing RNA-RNA interactome data from multiple crosslinking methods across 13 cell lines and hippocampal tissues from human and mouse, we identified 132 517 high-confidence circRNA-target RNA interactions. Each entry in CircTarget is richly annotated, including circRNA basic information, disease associations, interaction regions, supporting chimeric read counts, predicted hybrid duplex structures, and disease-linked variants from GWAS Catalog, ClinVar, and ICGC databases. CircTarget provides a valuable resource for deciphering circRNA functions and is freely accessible at https://circtarget.cn.
