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.
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
backgroundTriple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive breast cancer subtype, with few treatment options and an increased risk of radioresistance development. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are non-coding molecules that have emerged as major regulators of cancer progression and therapy efficacy. In this study, we aimed to elucidate their role in radiation response mechanisms of TNBC cell lines.
methodsBT-20, MDA-MB-231, and MDA-MB-468 cells were exposed to two different doses of ionizing radiation and analyzed at multiple time points to elucidate the expression profiles of ten circRNAs with regulatory potential, namely circTP53, circFOXO3, circCCNB1, circABCC1, circFBXW7, circHIPK3, circNCOR1, circADAM9, circUBAP2, and circATAD2. These circRNAs were pre-amplified and quantified using quantitative real-time PCR with divergent primers, while p53 phosphorylation was assessed by western blot analysis. Next, bioinformatics analysis was performed to identify miRNA targets and enriched signaling pathways for selected circRNAs.
resultsIonizing radiation induced distinct temporal and dose-dependent circRNA expression patterns. Six circRNAs were characterized by progressive upregulation, peaking at 24 h, with circTP53 expression paralleling p53 phosphorylation patterns. Four circRNAs showed early suppression with limited recovery. Cell line-specific responses reflected TNBC molecular heterogeneity, with MDA-MB-231 cells displaying unique recovery patterns. In addition, functional analysis for circTP53, circFBXW7, and circATAD2 revealed enrichment in critical pathways including p53 signaling, FOXO regulation, MAPK signaling, and ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis.
conclusionThe cell line-specific radiation-dependent circRNA expression patterns reflect the molecular diversity of TNBC, and pathway enrichments indicate the potential applications of these circRNAs as radiation sensitivity biomarkers and therapeutic targets to improve TNBC treatment efficacy.
