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

Despite mounting evidence linking circular RNAs (circRNAs) to various diseases, their specific role in liver damage triggered by obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) remains ambiguous. This study investigates alterations in circRNA expression patterns in a mouse model subjected to chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH), aiming to elucidate the pathways that lead to liver damage associated with OSA. We established the CIH model and conducted circRNA microarray analysis on liver samples from both CIH and control groups. The findings were substantiated via qRT-PCR. Furthermore, a comprehensive circRNA-miRNA-mRNA (ceRNA) network was developed, followed by the analysis of GO and KEGG pathways to further elucidate the underlying biological processes. We identified 259 differentially expressed circRNAs, comprising 86 that were upregulated and 173 that were downregulated in CIH mice. The ceRNA analysis suggested that these circRNAs may modulate gene expression by sequestering miRNAs. Our findings highlight potential therapeutic targets for liver pathologies associated with OSA.
