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 RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of single-stranded, covalently closed RNA molecules with a variety of biological functions. Studies have shown that circRNAs are involved in a variety of biological processes and play an important role in the development of various complex diseases, so the identification of circRNA-disease associations would contribute to the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. In this review, we summarize the discovery, classifications and functions of circRNAs and introduce four important diseases associated with circRNAs. Then, we list some significant and publicly accessible databases containing comprehensive annotation resources of circRNAs and experimentally validated circRNA-disease associations. Next, we introduce some state-of-the-art computational models for predicting novel circRNA-disease associations and divide them into two categories, namely network algorithm-based and machine learning-based models. Subsequently, several evaluation methods of prediction performance of these computational models are summarized. Finally, we analyze the advantages and disadvantages of different types of computational models and provide some suggestions to promote the development of circRNA-disease association identification from the perspective of the construction of new computational models and the accumulation of circRNA-related data.
