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

In bulk meningioma (MNG) tumors, a biomarker based on the expression of 34 transcripts (34HR-MNG) has recently been described to be able to predict their outcome, including recurrence. To better study the molecular mechanisms regulating the expression of the 34HR-MNG transcripts and predict their functional involvement in MNG recurrence, we built a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network through an in silico approach. MiRNAs targeting 34HR-MNG transcripts and corresponding sponging circRNAs were retrieved through MiRTarbase and ENCORI databases, respectively. The expression of candidate circRNA host genes belonging to the 34HR-MNG transcripts was correlated with specific molecular and clinical features of 89 and 20 WHO grade 1 and 2 MNGs, respectively, by querying the RNA-seq dataset GSE189672. The expression of candidate circRNAs and their host gene was validated through qRT-PCR. Among the 34HR-MNG transcripts, the Pim-1 proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase (PIM1) was significantly upregulated in (i) WHO grade 2 vs. grade 1 and (ii) recurrent vs. not recurrent WHO grade 2 MNGs. PIM1 expression positively and negatively correlated with that of Ki-67 and NF2, respectively, in recurrent WHO grade 2 MNGs. CircRNAs 0076215 and 0076216, both generated from the PIM1 host gene, were predicted to sponge miRNAs 16-5p and 195-5p, two tumor suppressors in MNG, in turn targeting PIM1. The expression of circRNAs 0076215 and 0076216, validated for the first time in a set of 19 physiological human tissues, positively correlated with that of their host gene (Rho value = 0.579 and 0.681,
