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 a class of non-coding RNAs broadly expressed in cells of various species. However, the molecular mechanisms that link circRNAs with progression of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) are not well understood. In the present study, we attempted to provide novel basis for targeted therapy for PTC from the aspect of circRNA-miRNA-mRNA interaction. We investigated the expression of circRNAs in five paired PTC tissues and normal tissues by microarray analysis. The circRNA microarray assay followed by qRT-PCR was used to verify the differential expression of hsa_circ_0059354, which is located on chromosome 20 and derived from RASSF2, and thus we named it circRASSF2. The qRT-PCR analysis was to investigate the expression pattern of circRASSF2 in PTC tissues and cell lines. Then the effects of circRASSF2 on cell proliferation and apoptosis were assessed in PTC in vitro. Furthermore, bioinformatics online programs predicted and luciferase reporter assays were used to validate the association of circRASSF2 and miR-1178 in PTC cells. In this study, circRASSF2 was observed to be upregulated in PTC tissues and cell lines. Knockdown of circRASSF2 inhibited cell proliferation and promoted cell apoptosis in PTC cells. Bioinformatics analysis predicted that there is a circRASSF2/miR-1178/TLR4 axis in PTC. A dual-luciferase reporter system validated the direct interaction of circRASSF2, miR-1178, and TLR4. Furthermore, circRASSF2 facilitates PTC progression in vivo. Importantly, we demonstrated that circRASSF2 was upregulated in serum exosomes from PTC patients. In summary, our study demonstrates that circRASSF2 modulates PTC progression through the miR-1178/TLR4 pathway. Our findings indicate that circRASSF2 may serve as a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of PTC patients.
