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

backgroundOne of the main reasons for the failure of prostate cancer (PCa) treatment is the generation of chemoresistance. Circular RNA hsa_circ_0000735 (hsa_circ_0000735) is connected with the progression of cancer. Nevertheless, the role and regulatory mechanism of hsa_circ_0000735 in the resistance of PCa to docetaxel (DTX) are unclear.

methodsExpression levels of hsa_circ_0000735 and miR-7-5p (miR-7) in tissue samples and cells were examined via quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The DTX sensitivity, viability, colony formation, cell cycle progression, and apoptosis of DTX-resistant PCa cells were determined via Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), cell colony formation, or flow cytometry assays. The levels of multidrug resistance protein 1 (MDR1) protein, cyclinD1, and B cell lymphoma 2 (bcl-2) were detected by western blotting. The interaction between hsa_circ_0000735 and miR-7 was verified via dual-luciferase reporter, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP), and RNA pull-down assays. The role of hsa_circ_0000735 in vivo was validated through tumor formation experiments.

resultsHsa_circ_0000735 was upregulated and miR-7 was downregulated in DTX-resistant PCa tissues and cells. High hsa_circ_0000735 expression had a shorter overall survival. Both hsa_circ_0000735 knockdown and miR-7 mimic boosted DTX sensitivity, constrained viability, colony formation, cell cycle progression, and fostered apoptosis of DTX-resistant PCa cells. Also, hsa_circ_0000735 silencing elevated DTX sensitivity and repressed tumor growth in PCa in vivo. Mechanistically, hsa_circ_0000735 served as a sponge for miR-7. MiR-7 inhibition overturned hsa_circ_0000735 silencing-mediated impacts on DTX sensitivity and the malignant behaviors of DTX-resistant PCa cells.

conclusionHsa_circ_0000735 downregulation boosted PCa sensitivity to DTX and reduced tumor growth via sponging miR-7, providing a promising prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for PCa.
