CircRNA WHSC1 targets the miR-646/NPM1 pathway to promote the development of endometrial cancer.
Article in Journal of cellular and molecular medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 61 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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) play important roles in human cancer progression. Their high stability and tissue specificity make circRNAs important molecular targets for clinical diagnosis, treatment and prognosis. However, the functions and molecular mechanisms of circRNA WHSC1 in endometrial cancer are unknown. CircWHSC1 expression in normal endometrial and endometrial cancer tissues was detected using PCR. Overexpression or knockdown of circWHSC1 in endometrial cancer cell lines HEC-1B or Ishikawa, respectively, cell function experiments were used to detect the impact of circWHSC1 on endometrial cancer cells. A nude mouse xenograft model was used to detect changes in tumorigenesis of HEC-1B cells after circWHSC1 overexpression. Bioinformatics and dual luciferase reporter gene technology were used to predict and validate the sponging ability of circWHSC1 on microRNAs. Gene expression changes were detected by using Western blotting. CircWHSC1 expression was increased in endometrial cancer tissues. CircWHSC1 overexpression promoted the proliferation, migration and invasion of endometrial cancer cells and decreased apoptosis. CircWHSC1 knockdown had the opposite effect. CircWHSC1 overexpressed nude mice showed increased tumorigenicity. Bioinformatics predicted that circWHSC1 binds to miR-646, which was confirmed using luciferase reporter gene assays. High expression of miR-646 could reverse the effect of circWHSC1 on endometrial cancer cells. Western blotting showed increased or decreased levels of nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1), an miR-646 downstream target, after circWHSC1 overexpression or knockdown, respectively. CircWHSC1 promotes endometrial cancer development through sponging miR-646 and targeting NPM1.
