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

Long-term exposure to environmental carbon black nanoparticles (CBNP) has been shown to increase the risk of pulmonary malignancies. However, the role of epigenetic regulation, particularly circular RNAs (circRNAs), in this process remains poorly understood. Using whole transcriptome and RNA sequencing, we identified that circDCP2 was upregulated in CBNP-transformed cells and clinically lung cancer tissues. Moreover, circDCP2 was found to promote tumor progression both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, N6-methyladenosine (m
