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

backgroundSeveral lines of evidence strongly suggest that circular RNAs (circRNAs), a novel class of single-stranded covalently closed non-coding RNAs, are implicated in the etiology of a variety of human diseases, including cancer. We aimed to quantify the expression levels of circ_0002301 and circ_0001955 in breast tumor and normal tissues adjacent to the tumor (NAT). MATERIALS AND

methodsBreast tumor and paired NAT samples were freshly collected following surgery from fifty women diagnosed with breast cancer. After total RNA extraction, the expression levels of circ_0002301 and circ_0001955 were assessed using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technique. The correlation between circ_0002301 and circ_0001955 expression levels and clinicopathological features evaluated using Spearman's correlation coefficient. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to determine the diagnostic values of the studied circRNAs.

resultsWe found that circ_0002301 expression level was significantly up-regulated in breast tumor compared to NAT (fold change = 3.39, P = 0.0001). The expression level of circ_0001955 in breast tumor was significantly higher than that in NAT(FC = 2.214, P = 0.009). No significant correlation was between the expression levels of circ_0002301 and circ_0001955 in breast tumor (r = 0.269, P = 0.059). The ROC analysis revealed that the area under the curve (AUC) values of circ_0002301 and circ_0001955 were 0.660 and 0.650, respectively.

conclusionThe present study provides evidence that up-regulation of circ_0002301 and circ_0001955 may be associated with breast cancer tissues.
