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

backgroundThe fecundity of sows is a trait of major economic in pig industry. The molecular regulation of estrus cycles can affect the fecundity of female animals. Compared with the other pig breeds, Xiang pig exhibits the special estrus behaviors. CircRNAs are thought to involve in regulation of multiple biological processes. However, the potential roles of circRNAs in ovary regulation on Xiang pig estrus are largely unknown.

results8,937 circRNAs were identified from eight libraries constructed from the ovarian samples of Xiang pig at estrus and diestrus stages by RNA sequencing method. Of which, 1,995 were high confidence circRNAs detected at least two junction reads in each ovary sample and seven circRNAs were validated by RT-PCR method. Furthermore, we identified 290 upregulated and 15 downregulated circRNAs in estrus ovaries. These differentially expressed circRNAs (DECs) derived from 273 host genes. And 207 miRNAs were identified to be targets sponged by 156 DECs with 432 binding sites, containing more than one miRNA binding site in each circRNA. Function enrichment analysis revealed that the host genes and the targets of miRNAs sponged by DECs were enriched in several reproduction-related signaling pathways, such as ovarian steroidogenesis, oocyte maturation, circadian rhythm, estrogen signaling pathway, GnRH signaling pathway, circadian entrainment, and oocyte meiosis. The circRNA-miRNA-mRNA networks revealed that 153 miRNAs interacting with 122 DECs and 86 miRNAs interacting with 84 DECs were involved in ovarian functions and ovarian circadian entrainment and circadian rhythm respectively. The DEC-miRNA-DEG (differentially expressed gene, DEG) networks associated with reproduction-related signaling pathways contained 22 DECs,18 miRNAs and 7 DEGs. 22 DECs were recognized as hub circRNAs during the estrus phase of Xiang pigs.

conclusionsThe circRNAs that function as miRNA sponges could play a key role in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression during Xiang pig's estrus cycle.
