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

CircRNAs have been the focus of research in recent years. They are differentially expressed in various human tumors and can regulate oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes expression through various mechanisms. The diversity, stability, evolutionary conservatism and cell- or tissue-specific expression patterns of circRNAs also endow them with important regulatory roles in promoting or inhibiting tumor cells malignant biological behaviors progression. More interestingly, emerging studies also found that circRNAs can regulate not only other genes expression, but also their parental gene expression and thus influence tumors development. Apart from some conventional features, circRNAs have a certain specificity in the regulation of parental gene expression, with a higher proportion affecting parental gene transcription and easier translation into protein to regulate parental gene expression. CircRNAs are generally thought to be unable to produce proteins and therefore the protein-coding ability exhibited by circRNAs in regulating parental gene expression is unique and indicates that the regulatory effects of parental gene expression by circRNAs are not only a competitive binding relationship, but also a more complex molecular relationship between circRNAs and parental gene, which deserves further study. This review summarizes the molecular mechanisms of circRNAs regulating parental gene expression and their biological roles in tumorigenesis and development, aiming to provide new ideas for the clinical application of circRNAs in tumor-targeted therapy.
