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

backgroundCircular RNAs (circRNAs) have been considered as a key regulator in tumor carcinogenesis. However, the roles and underlying mechanisms of circRNAs in cervical cancer (CC) remain largely unknown. In this study, we explored the effects of circ-MYBL2 (hsa_circ_0060467) on CC progression.

methodsLevels of circ-MYBL2 and miR-361-3p were examined by qRT-PCR. CCK-8 assay, colony formation assay and transwell invasion assay were used to determine the roles of circ-MYBL2 in CC. Dual-luciferase reporter and RNA pull down assays were employed to verify the relationship between circ-MYBL2 and miR-361-3p.

resultsWe showed that the expression of circ-MYBL2 was significantly upregulated and positively associated with advanced FIGO stage, larger tumor size, lymph node metastasis, and poor prognosis in CC patients. Function assays revealed that circ-MYBL2 inhibition suppressed CC cells' proliferation, invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) processes. In mechanism, miR-361-3p was identified as a direct target of circ-MYBL2, rescue assays showed that miR-361-3p suppression reversed the effects of si-circ-MYBL2 on CC cells' progression.

conclusionOur findings suggested that circ-MYBL2 promoted CC progression by regulating miR-361-3p expression, which provided a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of CC patients.
