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

backgroundGastric carcinoma (GC) is one of the most common malignant tumors. Although increasing studies have indicated that circular RNAs function as ideal biomarkers for multiple cancers, only a few researches elucidated the correlation between circular RNA PTK2 (circPTK2) and human cancers.

aimTo further explore the expression status, biological function, and regulatory mechanism of circPTK2 in GC.

methodsBioinformatics analysis and function or mechanism experiments including RT-qPCR, flow cytometry, Western blot, luciferase reporter assay, and xenografts assays were applied to investigate the function of circPTK2 and miR-139-3p.

resultsHigh expression of circPTK2 was presented in GC tissues and cells. The circPTK2 knockdown notably suppressed cell proliferation and promoted cell apoptosis in GC. In mechanism, circPTK2 served as a sponge of miR-139-3p. Inhibition of miR-139-3p could reverse circPTK2 silence-mediated effects on GC cell proliferation and apoptosis. Furthermore, the xenograft tumor model was established to investigate the role of circPTK2 in GC tumor growth. Experimental results delineated that the reduction in tumor growth in response to circPTK2 knockdown was partly recovered by miR-139-3p inhibitor.

conclusionsCircPTK2 promotes GC development by sponging miR-139-3p, which may function as an effective gene target for managing GC.
