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

backgroundCancer metastasis is responsible for 90% of cancer-related deaths. Recently, circular RNA (circRNA) is deemed to be an important regulator of cancer progression. However, little is known about the role of circRNA in the metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Herein, we investigated the clinical implication and regulatory effect of circ-TSPAN4 (hsa_circ_0020732) in LUAD.

methodsGene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database (GSE104854) was used to identify the aberrantly expressed circRNAs in LUAD. The expression levels of circ-TSPAN4, miR-4731-5p, miR-665, and ZEB1 were determined by quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR). The functional experiments were carried out with wound healing and transwell assays. And, the luciferase reporter and RNA pull-down assays were employed to examine the crosstalk between circ-TSPAN4, miR-665, and ZEB1. In vivo metastasis experiment was tested by the lung metastasis model.

resultsCirc-TSPAN4 was significantly upregulated in LUAD tissues and cell lines. The increased circ-TSPAN4 was linked to advanced tumor-node-metastasis stage, lymph node and distant metastasis, and poor outcome. Lentivirus-mediated stably circ-TSPAN4 knockdown dramatically attenuated the metastatic ability of LUAD cells both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, circ-TSPAN4 directly interacted with miR-665, but not miR-4731-5p, to increase the expression of ZEB1, which is a well-known metastasis trigger. Importantly, the reduced metastatic capacity caused by circ-TSPAN4 depletion was partially rescued by miR-665 silencing or ZEB1 overexpression.

conclusionsCirc-TSPAN4 plays a pivotal metastasis-promoting role in LUAD through acting as a sponge for miR-665 and upregulating ZEB1.
