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

backgroundHypoxia is crucial in the initiation and progression of tumor metastasis. Circular RNAs (CircRNAs) comprise a novel group of non-coding, RNase R resistant and regulatory RNAs which are generated by 'back-splicing' processes. However, the characterization and function of circRNAs in hypoxic cancer cells remain unknown.

methodsHigh throughput RNA-seq assay was performed in lung adenocarcinoma cells (A549) under either normoxic or hypoxic conditions. Bioinformatic analysis of differentially expressed circRNAs was conducted and their target genes were predicted and partially confirmed.

resultsHypoxia increased the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α) and its downstream genes in A549 cells and enhanced cell migration ability. Comprehensive analysis of global circRNAs expression profiles of A549 identified a total of 558 circRNAs candidates, among which 65 circRNAs were differentially expressed (35 upregulated and 30 downregulated) in hypoxic cancer cells. The difference in their circRNA expressions were compared by computational analysis and circRNA-miRNA networks were constructed. We further characterized one circRNA (hsa_circ_0008193) derived from the FAM120A gene and renamed it as circFAM120A. The expression of circFAM120A, as validated by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, was significantly downregulated in both hypoxic A549 and lung cancer tissue from patients with lymph node metastasis. Gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis and KEGG pathway analysis revealed that circFAM120A may participate in lung cancer development.

conclusionsCircRNAs profiles were altered in lung adenocarcinoma under hypoxia and circFAM120A may have the potential to be a new biomarker of lung adenocarcinoma hypoxia.
