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) which are shown as a class of RNAs exhibit the importance in the regulation of gene expression and the development of biological process. However, the expression profile and molecular mechanism of circRNA ATXN7 (circATXN7) is still mostly uncertain in gastric cancer (GC).

methodsqRT-PCR analysis was performed to detect the expression of circATXN7, miR-4319 and ENTPD4 in GC tissues and cells. CCK-8, colony formation, EdU, flow cytometry, TUNEL and transwell assays were conducted to assess the effect of circATXN7 or miR-4319 on cell proliferation, apoptosis and invasion. In vivo assays were utilized to further analyze the function of circATXN7 on the tumorigenesis and progression of GC. The interaction between miR-4319 and circATXN7 (or ENTPD4) was verified using luciferase reporter and RNA pull-down assays.

resultsThe results showed an upregulated circATXN7 expression in GC tissues and cell lines. Besides, silenced circATXN7 hampered the proliferation and invasion as well as promoted the apoptosis in GC cells. Moreover, low expression of miR-4319 was found in GC. It was determined that circATXN7 acted as a sponge for miR-4319 and had a negative association with miR-4319. We also found that miR-4319 upregulation restrained GC cell proliferation and migration whereas enhanced apoptosis. Subsequently, ENTPD4, the target gene of miR-4319, was found overexpressed in GC. Additionally, it was negatively correlated with miR-4319 whereas positively associated with circATXN7. In vivo experiments, circATXN7 silence was confirmed to inhibit GC tumor growth.

conclusionsCircATXN7 promoted GC development through sponging miR-4319 and regulating ENTPD4, which identified circATXN7 as a new biomarker in GC.
