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

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been increasingly demonstrated to function as novel promising therapeutic RNA molecules for diverse human diseases, including cancer. Although the important role of circRNAs has been well documented in HCC, the complex mechanisms of circRNAs in HCC need to be elucidated. Here, a novel circRNA circ_0001955 was identified from three GSE datasets (GSE7852, GSE94508, and GSE97322) as a differentially expressed circRNA between HCC and normal samples. We revealed that circ_0001955, TRAF6 and MAPK11 levels were increased, while miR-516a-5p levels were decreased in HCC tumor tissues compared to adjacent normal tissues. Knockdown of circ_0001955 repressed HCC tumor growth in vitro and in vivo, while overexpression of circ_0001955 exhibited the opposite effect. Circ_0001955 was identified as a sponge for miR-145-5p and miR-516a-5p, and TRAF6 and MAPK11 were demonstrated to be two target genes of miR-516a-5p. In conclusion, circ_0001955 facilitated HCC tumorigenesis by sponging miR-516a-5p to release TRAF6 and MAPK11 expression.
