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

backgroundCircular RNAs (circRNAs) are involved in a variety of biological processes, including tumorigenesis. However, the exact role and molecular mechanisms of circ_0000043 in endometrial carcinoma (EC) remain largely unknown.

methodsQuantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was carried out to determine the expression levels of circ_0000043, microRNA-1271-5p (miR-1271-5p) and catenin delta 1 (CTNND1). 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and flow cytometry were used to measure cell proliferation, cell apoptosis and cell cycle distribution, respectively. Cell migration and invasion were assessed by transwell assay. Western blot assay was performed to examine the protein expression of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2), MMP9 and CTNND1. The interaction between miR-1271-5p and circ_0000043 or CTNND1 was predicted by starBase and confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter assay. The mice xenograft model was established to investigate the role of circ_0000043 in vivo.

resultsCirc_0000043 and CTNND1 were highly expressed and miR-1271-5p was lowly expressed in EC tissues and cells. Knockdown of circ_0000043 inhibited the progression of EC by inhibiting cell proliferation, migration, invasion and tumor growth (in vivo) and promoting apoptosis. MiR-1271-5p was a direct target of circ_0000043 and its inhibition reversed the inhibitory effect of circ_0000043 knockdown on the progression of EC cells. In addition, CTNND1 was a downstream target of miR-1271-5p, and miR-1271-5p overexpression inhibited EC cell proliferation, migration and invasion and induced apoptosis by targeting CTNND1. Moreover, circ_0000043 positively regulated CTNND1 expression by sponging miR-1271-5p.

conclusionCirc_0000043 knockdown inhibited the progression of EC by regulating miR-1271-5p/CTNND1 axis, which might provide a promising circRNA-targeted therapy for EC.
