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

Circular RNA (circRNA) is a promising therapeutic modality owing to its enhanced stability conferred by exonuclease resistance. However, large-scale production remains limited by inefficient purification methods, as the standard approach using size-exclusion chromatography suffers from peak overlap and low yield. Here, we present an ultrafiltration strategy for purifying circRNA using polycarbonate track-etched membranes with precisely controlled pore diameters. Membrane pore sizes were fine-tuned by gold plating to separate circular and linear RNA conformers. Sieving coefficients of purified RNA conformers were measured to establish operating conditions, and continuous diafiltration experiments were conducted within the range of flux values predicted to achieve both high purity and yield. This approach resulted in 94% purity and 59% yield of circRNA from
