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

backgroundEarly allograft dysfunction (EAD) following liver transplantation is associated with poor recipient and graft survival. In recent years, circular RNAs (circRNAs) have emerged as important components of endogenous RNAs. This study aims to explore the expression profile and predictive value of graft circular RNAs for EAD after liver transplantation.

methodsRNA sequencing was conducted to identify the circRNA profile in donor liver tissues. Furthermore, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to identify candidate circRNAs. A novel model combining circular RNA signature was established to predict EAD based on the multivariate analysis.

resultsA total of 442 circRNAs were differentially expressed between the EAD and non-EAD groups, of which, 223 were significantly upregulated and 219 were downregulated in the EAD group (Fold change >2, P<0.05). qRT-PCR validation indicated that circFOXN2 and circNECTIN3 levels in the EAD group were significantly lower than those in the non-EAD group (P=0.038, 0.024, respectively; n=115). Among the 115 recipients, 32 recipients with high circFOXN2 expression were classified as circular RNA signature A and the rest recipients with low circFOXN2 expression were categorized into circular RNA signature B (n=33, high circNECTIN3 expression) and C (n=50, low circNECTIN3 expression). The incidence rates of EAD in signature A, B and C were significantly different (3.1%, 21.2% and 42.0%, respectively; P=0.000). According to the multivariate analysis, a novel predictive model for EAD was developed based on CIT (P=0.000) and circular RNA signature (P=0.013). The novel model displayed a high predictive value for EAD with areas under the curve (AUC) of 0.870 (95% CI: 0.797-0.942).

conclusionsDonor circFOXN2 and circNEXTIN3 were associated with the incidence of EAD. The novel model combing the two-circular RNA signature had a high predictive value for EAD.
