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

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are key regulators in the development and progression of human cancers; however their roles in breast tumorigenesis are not yet well understood. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the expression profiles and potential modulatory effects of circRNAs on breast carcinogenesis. A human circRNA microarray analysis was performed to screen for abnormally expressed circRNAs in breast cancer tissue and circRNA-000911 was identified as a circRNA which was significantly downregulated in breast cancer cells. Mechanistic investigations suggested that the enhanced expression of circRNA-000911 suppressed cell proliferation, migration and invasion, and promoted the apoptosis of breast cancer cells. By using a biotin-labeled circRNA-000911 probe to perform RNA precipitation in breast cancer cells, we identified miR‑449a as the circRNA‑000911-associated microRNA. Gain- and loss-of-function assays indicated that miR‑449a antagonized circRNA-000911 to regulate breast cancer progression. Subsequently, Notch1 was identified as the functional target of miR‑449a, and the overexpression of circRNA-000911 in breast cancer elevated Notch1 expression. Furthermore, Cignal Signal Transduction Reporter Array and western blot analysis identified nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling as a functional target of the circRNA-000911/miR‑449a pathway. On the whole, our findings indicate that circRNA-000911 plays an anti-oncogenic role in breast cancer and may thus serve as a promising therapeutic target for patients with breast cancer. Therefore, the overexpression of circRNA-000911 may provide a future direction which may aid in the development of a novel treatment strategy for breast cancer.
