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 endogenous RNAs with a covalently closed single-stranded transcript. They are a novel class of genomic regulators that are linked to many important development and disease processes and are being pursued as clinical and therapeutic targets. Using the most powerful RNA sequencing and bioinformatics techniques, a large number of circRNAs have been identified and further functional studies have been performed. It is known that circRNAs act as potential biomarkers, sponges for microRNAs (miRNAs) and RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), and regulators of mRNA transcription. They also participate in the translation of peptides or proteins. Many types of circRNAs are dysregulated in plasma or lung tissues, and they may be involved in regulating the proliferation and apoptosis of pulmonary artery endothelial cells (PAECs) and pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs), leading to pulmonary vascular remodeling in pulmonary hypertension (PH). One possible mechanism is that circRNAs can regulate the function of PAECs and PASMCs by acting as miRNA sponge. However, other potential mechanisms of action of circRNAs are still being actively explored in PH. This paper presents a systematic review of the biogenesis, biological characterization, relevant underlying functions, and future perspectives for studies of circRNAs in the pathogenesis of PH.
