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

Accumulating evidence shows that circular RNAs (circRNAs) function as microRNA sponges that regulate gene expression in the progression of human cancers. However, the roles of circRNAs and functional miRNA sponges in bladder cancer (BC) remain largely unknown. In the present study, we applied bioinformatics methods and hypothesised that miR-146b may target the 3'-untranslated region (UTR) of CARMA3 mRNA and circINTS4 may serve as a sponge for miR-146b in BC tumorigenesis. Expression of circINTS4 was significantly increased in miR-146b-downregulated BC tissues and cell lines compared to adjacent normal tissues. Furthermore, circINTS4 was found to control multiple pathological processes, including cell proliferation and migration, the cell cycle and apoptosis. Regarding the mechanism, circINTS4 directly bound to miR-146b to inhibit its activity of targeting the 3'-UTR of CARMA3 mRNA. In addition, circINTS4 could activate the NF-kB signalling pathway and suppress the P38 MAPK signalling pathway in a CARMA3-mediated manner in BC cells. In summary, the circINTS4/miR-146b/CARMA3 axis might serve as a promising therapeutic target for BC intervention.
