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 RNAs (circRNAs) are a newly discovered type of biological molecule that belongs to the noncoding RNA family. Abundant evidence has shown that circRNAs are involved in the progression of various cancers. However, the particular functions of circRNAs in colorectal cancer (CRC) remain elusive. In this study, we investigated the differentially expressed circRNAs in three pairs of cancer tissue and adjacent normal tissue of CRC. We revealed that circGLIS2 expression was higher in CRC tissue and cell lines. Gain-and-loss function assays showed that circGLIS2 was involved in the regulation of cell migration. Moreover, overexpressing circGLIS2 in CRC cells activated the NF-κB pathway and induced pro-inflammatory chemokine production, which evoked tumor-associated inflammation through recruiting leukocytes. In turn, when the cancer cells were exposed to the supernatant of circGLIS2 overexpressed cancer cells, they were endowed with the ability of migration and chemokines production. Furthermore, the rescue assay confirmed that circGLIS2 activated NF-κB signaling and promoted cell migration by sponging miR-671. Overall, our study reveals that circGLIS2, acting as a potential oncogene, maintains the abnormal activation state of the NF-κB signaling pathway via the miR-671 sponge mechanism in CRC cells. This study provides a scientific basis for targeting circGLIS2 in colorectal cancer interventions.
