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

backgroundEmerging evidence has indicated that circular RNAs (circRNAs), recognized as functional noncoding transcripts in eukaryotic cells, may be involved in regulating many physiological or pathological processes. However, the regulation and function of circular RNA circITGA7 in thyroid cancer (TC) remains unknown.

methodsIn this study, we found that circITGA7 is upregulated in TC cell lines. We then performed functional analyses in the cell lines to support clinical findings. Mechanistically, we demonstrated that circITGA7 can directly bind to miR-198 and reduce the inhibition effect of miR-198 on target FGFR1 expression.

resultsWe reported an upregulation of circITGA7 in patients with TC. Silencing of circITGA7 inhibits metastasis and proliferation of TC cell lines in vitro. In addition, in the TC cell lines, the knockdown of circITGA7 or overexpression of miR-198 significantly suppressed FGFR1 levels. Mechanistically, we found that circITGA7 acts as miR-198 competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) to regulate FGFR1 expression.

conclusionsIn summary, circRNA circITGA7 may play a regulatory role in TC and may be a potential marker for TC diagnosis or progression.
