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

During the development and progression of lung cancer, cell metabolism function is altered. Thus, cells rely on aerobic glycolysis and abnormal lipid and amino acid metabolism to obtain energy and nutrients for growth, proliferation and drug resistance. Circular RNAs (circRNAs), a class of non-coding RNAs, serve important biological roles in the growth and development of tumors. Functionally, circRNAs act as molecular sponges that absorb microRNAs (miRNAs) and RNA-binding proteins and as protein scaffolds that regulate gene transcription and translation through the maintenance of mRNA stability. In addition, circRNAs are important regulators of tumor metabolism and promote tumor progression through mediating tumor cell proliferation, metastasis and the induction of chemoresistance. Results of previous studies reveal that circRNAs may serve a key role in regulating tumor metabolic processes in lung cancer, through miRNA sponging and alternative mechanisms. Thus, circRNAs demonstrate potential as therapeutic targets for lung cancer. The present study aimed to review the effects of circRNAs on lung cancer cell metabolism and provide novel insights into the clinical treatment of lung cancer. The present review may also provide a novel theoretical basis for the development of lung cancer drug targets.
