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 ribonucleic acids (circRNAs) serve a vital role in the pathological processes of a number of diseases. Previous microarray results of circRNA expression revealed that hsa_circ_0070933 and hsa_circ_0070934, two circRNAs associated with the La ribonucleoprotein 1B gene, were highly expressed in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC). The present study aimed to explore the specific role of these circRNAs in CSCC. Through reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR, hsa_circ_0070933 and hsa_circ_0070934 expression levels in CSCC cell lines and a human keratinocyte cell line were detected. Additionally, direct interactions between miR‑1236‑3p and HOXB7 or circ‑0070934 were identified using RNA binding protein immunoprecipitation assays and dual‑luciferase reporter assays. Cell Counting Kit‑8, 5‑ethynyl‑2'‑deoxyuridine, Transwell invasion and flow cytometry assays were used to assess the roles of miR‑1236‑3p or circ‑0070934 in cell invasion, proliferation and apoptosis. Subsequently, in vivo tumor formation assays were used to verify the role of circ‑0070934 in CSCC. The results demonstrated that the expression of circ‑0070934 was stably upregulated in a number of CSCC cell lines compared with that in normal human keratinocytes. Knockdown of circ‑0070934 inhibited the invasive and proliferative potential of CSCC cells and promoted apoptosis both in vivo and in vitro. In addition, circ‑0070934 modulated HOXB7 expression through competitive binding with miR‑1236‑3p. In conclusion, the results of the present study demonstrated the effects of the circ‑0070934/miR‑1236‑3p/HOXB7 regulatory axis on CSCC and provided a novel insight for the pathogenesis of CSCC.
