Circ-DENND4C up-regulates TCF4 expression to modulate hepatocellular carcinoma cell proliferation and apoptosis via activating Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway.
Article in Cancer cell international, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 13 papers.
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
Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common malignant tumor in China. Advanced treatment like transcatheter hepatic arterial chemoembolization (TACE) has prolonged the lives of many HCC patients. However, the prognosis of most HCC patients remains unsatisfactory. Recently, circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been gradually unveiled to exert considerable functions in cancer. Promising circRNAs in HCC remains to be further elucidated. Methods: Gene expression was assessed by qRT-PCR and western blot. The function of circ-DENND4C in HCC was estimated by both in vitro and in vivo experiments. The location of circ-DENND4C in HCC cells was determined by subcellular fractionation and FISH assays. The association among molecules were analyzed through RNA pull down, RIP and luciferase reporter assays. Results: circ-DENND4C (DENN domain containing 4C), an oncogene identified in breast cancer, was overexpressed in HCC cells. Also, circ-DENND4C exerted pro-tumor functions in HCC through activating Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Importantly, circ-DENND4C could augment transcription factor 4 (TCF4) expression to activate Wnt/β-catenin signaling via sequestering miR-195-5p. Moreover, following rescue assays disclosed that circ-DENND4C mediated malignant phenotypes in HCC cells via up-regulating TCF4 through sponging miR-195-5p. Conclusion: circ-DENND4C boosted TCF4 expression to modulate malignant behaviors of HCC cells via activating Wnt/β-catenin pathway, which might offer a promising target for HCC treatment.
