What are the signs of ringed chambers?

After all the discussion about fillers and ruined barrels, I realized I wasn't fully sure what a ringed chamber would do. Hopefully I'll never have to know.

My hunches: Sticking cases, hard to extract?
Caused by an expansion of brass at the site of the ring?
What part of the brass is it likely to show on: right at the base of the bullet would be my guess.

OK, so what are the real answers? Anybody have pictures of the brass that comes from a ringed chamber?

Yes--sticky extraction, and a shiny/rubbed area at the site of the ring on the empty case. Haven't ringed any myself, but have seen photos of cases, and the ring is around where the base of the bullet sits.
