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) represent a class of widespread and diverse covalently closed circular endogenous RNAs that play critical roles in regulating gene expression in mammals. However, the roles and regulatory mechanisms of circRNAs during influenza A virus (IAV) infection remain largely unexplored. In this study, we screened the circRNA transcription profiles of WSN-infected cells to identify circRNAs involved in viral replication and identified a novel differentially expressed circular RNA, circMYO9A. Mechanistically, circMYO9A acts as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) for SERPINE1/PAI-1 by sponging miR-6059-3p, thereby increasing SERPINE1/PAI-1 expression, which restricts IAV haemagglutinin cleavage and subsequently reduces the infectivity of progeny viruses. Importantly, our findings demonstrate that circMYO9A significantly inhibits viral replication in the lungs of infected mice, potentially increasing their survival during IAV infection. These results demonstrate that circRNAs play crucial roles in inhibiting IAV replication and provide novel insights into potential therapeutic strategies involving circRNAs.
