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

backgroundCirRNA Circ_0058063 has been proven as an oncogene in bladder cancer, while its involvement in esophageal squamous-cell carcinomas (ESCC) is unknown. This study aimed to investigate the role of Circ_0058063 in ESCC.

methodsPaired ESCC and non-tumor tissues were collected from ESCC patients and gene expression was analyzed by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Gene interactions were analyzed by overexpression experiment. Glucose uptake was analyzed by glucose uptake assay. Cell proliferation was analyzed by cell proliferation assay.

resultsWe found that Circ_0058063 was upregulated in ESCC and positively correlated with GLUT1 mRNA. It is known that GLUT1 plays critical roles in glucose transportation and glucose supports the Warburg Effect as the major metabolic precursor. In ESCC cells, Circ_0058063 and GLUT1 overexpression both promoted glucose uptake. In ECSS cells, Circ_0058063 overexpression resulted in the upregulated, while Circ_0058063 knockdown resulted in downregulated GLUT1. In cell proliferation assay, Circ_0058063 and GLUT1 overexpression resulted in the increased, while Circ_0058063 knockdown resulted in the decreased rate of ESCC cell proliferation. Moreover, GLUT1 overexpression reduced the effects of Circ_0058063 knockdown.

conclusionsCirc_0058063 upregulates GLUT1 expression and promotes glucose-uptake in ESCC to promote cell proliferation.
