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.
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
purposeNon-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality world-wide. Recently, a number of circular RNAs (circRNAs) has been found to be differentially expressed in human NSCLCs, correlating with clinico-pathological features. As yet, the expression and potential role of circRNA BIRC6 (circBIRC6) in NSCLC have not been studied.
methodsExpression of circBIRC6 and its target microRNA-145 (miR-145) in human NSCLC cells and tissues was assessed using qRT-PCR. In vitro genetic strategies were used to exogenously alter circBIRC6 and miR-145 expression. Their impact on in vitro and in vivo NSCLC cell behavior was studied.
resultsWe found that circBIRC6 was upregulated in primary human NSCLC tissues and NSCLC cells, whereas its potential target, miR-145, was downregulated. In A549 NSCLC cells and primary human NSCLC cells, shRNA-induced silencing of circBIRC6 potently inhibited their growth, proliferation, migration and invasion. Conversely, we found that exogenous overexpression of circBIRC6 promoted these characteristics. Using RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) in A549 cells, we found that Argonaute 2 (Ago2) immunoprecipitated together with both circBIRC6 and miR-145. Additional studies revealed that the miR-145 level increased after circBIRC6 silencing in A549 cells, but decreased after circBIRC6 overexpression. Of note, we found that the circBIRC6 silencing-induced anti-A549 activity could be attenuated by a miR-145 inhibitor. Lastly, we found that circBIRC6 silencing inhibited the growth of NSCLC xenografts in severe combined immunodeficient mice.
conclusionsFrom our data we conclude that circBIRC6 overexpression promotes NSCLC cell progression, possibly by sponging miR-145.
