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
backgroundPrevious genome-wide transcriptome profiling found circ_ZNF124 was highly expressed in lung adenocarcinoma, however, the role of circ_ZNF124 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is still unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role and molecular mechanism of circ_ZNF124 in NSCLC development.
methodsThe expression of circ_ZNF124, miR-337-3p and JAK2 (Janus Kinase 2) in lung cancer cell lines and normal epithelial cells were detected by qRT-PCR (quantitative real-time PCR). siRNA was used to knockdown circ_ZNF124 expression in cells. The effects of circ_ZNF124 in NSCLC cells were determined by cell growth, cell migration, cell cycle analysis and colony formation. Bioinformatics analysis, RNA immunoprecipitation, luciferase assay and western blots were used to study the molecular mechanism of circ_ZNF124 in NSCLC.
resultsThe results showed that circ_ZNF124 expression was highly upregulated in NSCLC cells than in normal epithelial cells. Knockdown of circ_ZNF124 by using siRNA significantly decreased cell growth, promoted cell cycle arrested in sub-G1 phase, impaired cell migration and colony formation. Bioinformatic analysis discovered that miR-337-3p was a direct target of circ_ZNF124. In contrast to circ_ZNF124, miR-337-3p expression was significantly downregulated in NSCLC cells. Biotin labeled circ_ZNF124 immunoprecipitation and luciferase assay showed that miR-337-3p could directly bind to and affect circ_ZNF124 activity. The regulation of circ_ZNF124 on miR-337-3p was also investigated. Further analysis showed that despite STAT3 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 3), JAK2 was also a target of miR-337-3p, overexpression of miR-337-3p greatly downregulated JAK2, STAT3 and JAK2/STAT3 downstream regulated oncogenes HIF1a (Hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha), BCL2 (B cell lymphoma 2) and c-FOS expression, however, the roles of miR-337-3p in JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway were greatly inhibited in the presence of circ_ZNF124.
conclusionIn NSCLC, highly expressed circ_ZNF124 promoted the activation of JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway by acting as a sponge of miR-337-3p, thus promoting the occurrence and development of NSCLC. Circ_ZNF124 could be a potential biomarker or target for the treatment of NSCLC patients in the future.
