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

backgroundCircular RNAs (circRNAs) have been recently proposed as hub molecules in various diseases, especially in tumours. We found that circRNAs derived from ribonuclease P RNA component H1 (RPPH1) were highly expressed in colorectal cancer (CRC) samples from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets.

objectiveWe sought to identify new circRNAs derived from RPPH1 and investigate their regulation of the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) and RNA binding protein (RBP) networks of CRC immune infiltration.

methodsThe circRNA expression profiles miRNA and mRNA data were extracted from the GEO and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) datasets, respectively. The differentially expressed (DE) RNAs were identified using R software and online server tools, and the circRNA-miRNA-mRNA and circRNA-protein networks were constructed using Cytoscape. The relationship between targeted genes and immune infiltration was identified using the GEPIA2 and TIMER2 online server tools.

resultsA ceRNA network, including eight circRNAs, five miRNAs, and six mRNAs, was revealed. Moreover, a circRNA-protein network, including eight circRNAs and 49 proteins, was established. The targeted genes, ENOX1, NCAM1, SAMD4A, and ZC3H10, are closely related to CRC tumour-infiltrating macrophages.

conclusionsWe analysed the characteristics of circRNA from RPPH1 as competing for endogenous RNA binding miRNA or protein in CRC macrophage infiltration. The results point towards the development of a new diagnostic and therapeutic paradigm for CRC.
