CircPCNXL2 sponges miR-153 to promote the proliferation and invasion of renal cancer cells through upregulating ZEB2.

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
Increasing evidence showed that circular RNAs (circRNAs) play critical roles in tumorigenesis. However, the roles and underlying mechanisms of circRNAs in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) remain unclear. In the present study, we identified a novel circRNA circPCNXL2, which was significantly upregulated in ccRCC by circular RNA microarray. Further analysis revealed that circPCNXL2 was significantly increased and correlated with poor overall survival of ccRCC patients. Function assays revealed that circPCNXL2 knockdown reduced RCC cells proliferation, invasion in vitro, and decreased tumor growth in vivo. In mechanism study, we showed that circPCNXL2 could be bind to miR-153 as a miRNA sponge to regulate ZEB2 expression in RCC progression. In addition, our data reported that the effects of circPCNXL2 inhibition on RCC cells proliferation and invasion could be abolished by miR-153 inhibitors. Altogether, we demonstrated that circPCNXL2 could regulate RCC cells proliferation and invasion by miR-153/ZEB2 axis, suggesting circPCNXL2 might serve as a potential therapeutic target for ccRCC treatment.
