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 single-stranded RNAs which form a covalently closed continuous loop. Although originally shown to be non-protein-coding, some circRNAs can give rise to micropeptides. circRNAs have also been shown to play essential regulatory roles in a variety of developmental and disease processes. In a previous study, hsa_circ_0030998 was identified as a circRNA downregulated in lung cancer, but its potential implications and mechanisms in lung cancer were not addressed. Here, we showed that overexpressing circ_0030998 decreased proliferation, migration, and invasion of lung cancer cells, while also dampening resistance to Taxol, a classical antitumor drug. Depleting circ_0030998 reversed these phenotypic effects. A high circ_0030998 expression was correlated with a high survival rate in lung cancer patients. Additionally, we found circ_0030998 could downregulate miR-558 expression, serving as a microRNA sponge. In conclusion, our data support that hsa_circ_0030998 can slow down the progression of lung cancer by targeting miR-558 and suppress malignant phenotypes such as proliferation, migration, and invasion progression of lung cancer cells. Therefore, we highlight that circ_0030998 could be a novel tumor suppressor of lung cancer.
