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 shown to play a crucial role in tumorigenesis. In this study, we investigated the function of hsa_circ_0137008 and its underlying molecular mechanism in colorectal cancer (CRC).

methodsGene expression was conducted by quantitative real-time PCR or western blot. Functional experiments were performed by cell count kit-8, colony formation assay, wound healing, and transwell assays. Luciferase reporter assay and RNA pull-down assay were performed to investigate the molecular mechanism of hsa_circ_0137008 in CRC. In addition, the xenograft tumor model was applied to determine the role of hsa_circ_0137008 in vivo.

resultsDownregulation of hsa_circ_0137008 was observed in CRC tissues and cell lines. Functionally, overexpression of hsa_circ_0137008 inhibited the proliferation of CRC cells, as indicated by the inhibition of proliferative protein expression (Ki67 and PCNA), reduced cell viability and colony formation ability. Upregulation of hsa_circ_0137008 suppressed the migration, invasion, and epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) of CRC cells. Mechanically, hsa_circ_0137008 negatively regulated the expression of microRNA-338-5p (miR-338-5p). Furthermore, hsa_circ_0137008 abated the miR-338-5p mediated promotion on CRC cell progression. Tumor suppressive function of hsa_circ_0137008 was validated in vivo.

conclusionThese findings highlighted the fact that overexpression of hsa_circ_0137008 inhibited the progression of CRC via sponging miR-338-5p, suggesting that hsa_circ_0137008/miR-338-5p axis is a principal regulator of CRC tumorigenesis.
