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

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play a key role in regulating the tumorigenesis and development of human cancers, including osteosarcoma (OS). Of note, the molecular mechanism underlying the progression of OS has remained largely unclear. The present study identified that a novel circRNA circEIF4G2 was upregulated in OS tissues and cells. Moreover, we constructed a circEIF4G2-mediated ceRNA network and revealed that circEIF4G2 was involved in regulating multiple cancer pathways, such as the EGFR signaling pathway, the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, and the ErbB signaling pathway. Loss-of-function assays showed that circEIF4G2 knockdown significantly suppressed OS cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Mechanically, we found that circEIF4G2 could directly bind to miR-218, and miR-218 mediated the effect of circEIF4G2 knockdown on OS progression. In conclusion, the present study showed that circEIF4G2 could be a potential biomarker for OS.
