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

retractionM. Zhang, F. Wen, and K. Zhao, "Circular RNA_0001946 is Insufficiently Expressed in Tumor Tissues, While its Higher Expression Correlates With Less Lymph Node Metastasis, Lower TNM Stage, and Improved Prognosis in NSCLC Patients," Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Analysis 35, no. 8 (2020): e23625, https://doi.org/10.1002/jcla.23625. The above article, published online on 03 July 2021 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the journal Editor-in-Chief, Rong Fu; and Wiley Periodicals, LLC. The retraction has been agreed due to concerns raised by a third party that identified indications of compromised data and systematic issues within the published article, including inconsistencies related to patient recruitment. The authors did not provide the requested documentation relating to ethics approval, patient informed consent, or the underlying raw data. Accordingly, the article is retracted as the editors have lost trust in the reliability of the data and the results presented. The authors have been informed of this decision but were not available for final confirmation.
