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) are significant molecular targets in various types of human cancers. The functional mechanism of circRNA_0025033 (circ_0025033) in ovarian cancer (OC) was discussed in the current report.

methodsThe quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used for determining the circ_0025033 and microRNA-330-5p (miR-330-5p) levels. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and transwell assays were separately exploited to analyze cell viability and migration/invasion. Cell apoptosis was assessed using flow cytometry. The protein levels of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related makers and kallikrein-related peptidase 4 (KLK4) were measured by Western blotting. The target combination was confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter assay, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) and RNA pull-down assays. And the effect of circ_0025033 on OC in vivo was explored via xenograft tumor assay.

resultsCirc_0025033 was overexpressed in OC tissues and cells. Circ_0025033 knockdown inhibited OC cell viability, migration, invasion and EMT while expedited apoptosis. MiR-330-5p was a target of circ_0025033 and circ_0025033 regulated OC cellular behaviors by sequestering miR-330-5p. Moreover, miR-330-5p targeted KLK4 and circ_0025033 affected the KLK4 expression by sponging miR-330-5p. And miR-330-5p functioned as a tumor inhibitor in OC via targeting KLK4. In vivo, circ_0025033 promoted OC growth by the miR-330-5p/KLK4 axis.

conclusionThis study demonstrated that circ_0025033 contributed to the progression of OC via the miR-330-5p/KLK4 axis and might be a candidate target in the identification and treatment of OC.
