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

Objective: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are involved in various Cardiovascular diseases; however, the circRNA expression profiles and the circRNA-microRNA(miRNA)-messenger RNA (mRNA) regulatory network in rheumatic heart disease (RHD) remain poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the expression profiles of circRNAs and construct a circRNA-miRNA-mRNA interaction network to reveal new diagnostic biomarkers and potential pathogenesis of RHD. Methods: Clinical data and plasma samples from 46 patients with RHD and 46 non-RHD patients were collected between January 2021 and December 2023. Arraystar Human CircRNA microarray was used to profile differentially expressed circRNAs in 3 paired samples (RHD vs. non-RHD). Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) validated four candidate circRNAs in all 92 samples. The diagnostic value of differentially expressed circRNAs was analyzed by the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) Curve. Bioinformatics analysis was used to predict the target miRNA and analyze the co-expressed mRNA to construct a circRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory network. The Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses were conducted to predict the potential functions of the differentially expressed genes and RHD-related pathways. Results: Four circRNAs were selected from circRNA microarray data. qRT-PCR confirmed that hsa_circ_0001490 and hsa_circ_0001296 were significantly upregulated in RHD plasma (4.28-fold, Conclusion: This study provides the first evidence of significant upregulation of hsa_circ_0001490 and hsa_circ_0001296 in RHD patients, suggesting their potential as diagnostic biomarkers for RHD. The constructed circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network reveals potential molecular mechanisms underlying RHD pathogenesis. Future studies should investigate these circRNAs' functional roles to fully elucidate their contribution to RHD development.
