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

objectivecircular RNAs (circRNAs) have been reported to be essential regulators of multiple malignant cancers. However, the functions of circRNAs in ovarian cancer need to be further explored. The aim of our study is to explore the role of circRNA-UBAP2 in ovarian cancer and its mechanism.

resultscircRNA-UBAP2 was upregulated in ovarian cancer tissues and cell lines. Knockdown of circRNA-UBAP2 inhibited cell proliferation and promoted cell apoptosis, but circRNA-UBAP2 overexpressed got opposite results. In addition, circRNA-UBAP2 targeted miR-382-5p and downregulated its expression, PRPF8 was a target gene of miR-382-5p. Furthemore, circRNA-UBAP2/miR-382-5p/PRPF8 axis affected the proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle of ovarian cancer through the mechanism of competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNA).

conclusioncircRNA-UBAP2 acted as a ceRNA to sponged miR-382-5p, increased the expression level of PRPF8, and prompted proliferation and inhibited apoptosis in ovarian cancer cells.
