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 a class of non-coding RNAs that are broadly expressed in various biological cells and function in regulating gene expression. They are structurally stable and tissue-specific. However, the function of human circRNAs and the role of circRNAs in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) remain to be determined. Herein, the function of circRNA circBACH2 was investigated in human PTC cells. First, we detected the expression of circBACH2 in PTC tissues and PTC cell lines by RT-PCR. FISH was used to confirm the subcellular localization of circBACH2. A luciferase reporter assay and AGO2-RIP was used to confirm the relationship between circBACH2 and miR-139-5p. PTC cells were stably transfected with siRNA against circBACH2 and cell proliferation, migration and invasion were detected to evaluate the effect of circBACH2 in PTC, while tumorigenesis was assayed in nude mice. We found that circBACH2 was highly expressed in PTC tissues and PTC cell lines. Mechanistically, we confirmed that circBACH2 could directly bind to miR-139-5p and relieve suppression of the target LMO4. Functionally, we found that inhibiting circBACH2 expression decreased cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Finally, down-regulating circBACH2 suppressed the growth of PTC xenografts in nude mice. Our findings indicate that circBACH2 acts as a novel oncogenic RNA that sponges miR-139-5p and can be used as a tumor biomarker of PTC. What's more, these results revealed that the circBACH2/miR-139-5p/LMO4 axis could be targeted as a potential treatment strategy for PTC.
