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

backgroundAccumulating evidences indicate that circRNAs play important roles in the progression and chemoresistance of human cancers. The present study is designated for researching the roles of circ_0003418 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

methodsWe detected the expression profile of circ_0003418 in human HCC tissues and cell lines by quantitative real-time-PCR assays. CCK-8 assay, transwell migration assay, transwell invasion assay and drug-sensitivity analysis were carried out to estimate the effects of circ_0003418 on HCC cells' proliferation, migration, invasion and resistance to cisplatin, respectively. Mouse xenograft model was conducted to monitor the role of circ_0003418 in cisplatin resistance in vivo. Western blotting was performed to explore the changes of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway after knockdown of circ_0003418. The rescue experiment was carried out to explore circ_0003418-activated biological functions through Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

resultsThe expression level of circ_0003418 was downregulated in HCC tissues and cell lines, and the level correlated with tumor size, TNM stage and HBsAg level in HCC patients. circ_0003418 knockdown promoted HCC cells' proliferation, migration, and invasion. Additionally, suppression of circ_0003418 enhanced cisplatin resistance of HCC cells in vivo and vitro. Knockdown of circ_0003418 activated the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway in HCC cells. The effect of circ-0003418 on sensitivity of HCC cells to cisplatin was reversed after inhibition of Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

conclusioncirc-0003418 exerts an antitumorigenic role in HCC and advances the sensitivity of HCC cells to cisplatin by restraining the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Thus, circ-0003418 may represent a novel biomarker and provide us a new strategy for the treatment of HCC.
