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

The Warburg effect is a significant hallmark of gastric cancer (GC), and increasing evidence emphasizes the crucial role of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in GC tumorigenesis. However, the precise molecular mechanisms by which circRNAs drive the GC Warburg effect are still elusive. The present study was designed to unveil the roles of circRNAs and the corresponding potential mechanism. High-regulated expression of circCUL3 was observed in both GC tissues and cell lines. Clinically, the high expression of circCUL3 was closely correlated with advanced clinical stage and overall survival in GC patients. Functionally, cellular experimental investigations demonstrated that circCUL3 promoted the proliferation, glucose consumption, lactate production, ATP quantity, and extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) of GC cells.
