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

objectiveThe pathogenesis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) has not yet been fully elucidated. An increasing number of studies have shown that circular RNAs (circRNAs) play an important role in tumorigenesis and development. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of CircCFL1 on the malignant progression of DLBCL.

methodsRT-qPCR was used to detect the expression levels of CircCFL1 and miR-107. A dual-luciferase reporter gene experiment was conducted to verify that CircCFL1 targeted miR-107 and the miR-107 target gene HMGB1. BrdU, transwell, and MTT tests were performed to detect cell invasion and proliferation. Western blot analysis was used to detect the phosphorylation of proteins. Xenograft models were established to confirm the effect of CircCFL1 on DLBCL tumor growth in vivo.

resultsThe expression of CircCFL1 in cells transfected with the CircCFL1 overexpression vector was higher than that in the control group. After overexpressing CircCFL1, the expression of miR-107 in cells decreased significantly, and the protein level of HMGB1 increased. The dual-luciferase reporter gene experiment showed that CircCFL1 directly bound to miR-107 and reduced the inhibition of the target gene HMGB1. After CircCFL1 was overexpressed, cell migration and proliferation were enhanced. The tumor volume and weight in the lentivirus CircCFL1 group were higher than those in the lentivirus NC group.

conclusionResults showed that the circRNA CircCFL1 could regulate the expression of HMGB1 through miR-107 to promote the proliferation and migration of DLBCL.
