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) are group of noncoding RNAs derived from back-splicing events. Accumulating evidence certifies the critical roles of circRNAs in human tumorigenesis. However, the role and biogenesis of circRNAs in cervical cancer are still unclear. Here, a novel identified circRNA, circSLC26A4, was found to be upregulated in cervical cancer tissue and cells. Clinically, the high expression of circSLC26A4 was related to the poor survival of cervical cancer patients. Functionally, cellular experiments indicated that circSLC26A4 knockdown repressed the proliferation, invasion, and tumor growth in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, circSLC26A4 acted as the sponge of miR-1287-5p; moreover, miR-1287-5p targeted the 3' UTR of HOXA7 mRNA. Mechanistically, RNA binding protein (RBP) quaking (QKI) was identified to interact with the QKI response elements (QREs) in SLC26A4 gene introns, thereby promoting circSLC26A4 biogenesis. In conclusion, these findings demonstrate that circSLC26A4 facilitates cervical cancer progression through the QKI/circSLC26A4/miR-1287-5p/HOXA7 axis, which might bring novel therapeutic strategies for cervical cancer.
