CircZKSCAN1 Suppresses Hepatocellular Carcinoma Tumorigenesis by Regulating miR-873-5p/Downregulation of Deleted in Liver Cancer 1.

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.
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
backgroundHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of cancer-associated mortality worldwide. CircZKSCAN1 (hsa_circ_0001727) was reported to be related to HCC development. The present study aims to elucidate the potential role and molecular mechanism of circZKSCAN1 in the regulation of HCC progression.
methodsCircZKSCAN1, miR-873-5p, and downregulation of deleted in liver cancer 1 (DLC1) in HCC tissues and cells were detected by RT-qPCR. Correlation between circZKSCAN1 expression and overall survival rate was measured by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. The effects of circZKSCAN1, miR-873-5p, and DLC1 on proliferation, migration, and invasion were analyzed by CCK-8 and transwell assays, respectively. CyclinD1, Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9, MMP-2, and DLC1 in HCC cells were detected by Western blot assay. The binding relationship between miR-873-5p and circZKSCAN1 or DLC1 was predicted by the Circinteractome or Starbase, and then confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter assays, respectively. Tumor volume and tumor weight were measured in vivo.
resultsCircZKSCAN1 was downregulated in HCC tissues and cells. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis suggested that there was a positive correlation between circZKSCAN1 expression and overall survival rate. Functionally, circZKSCAN1 blocked proliferation, migration, and invasion of HCC cells. MiR-873-5p was a target miRNA of circZKSCAN1, and miR-873-5p directly bound with DLC1. Rescue experiments confirmed that miR-873-5p overexpression or DLC1 knockdown attenuated the suppressive effects of circZKSCAN1 on HCC tumor growth in vitro. Besides, circZKSCAN1 inhibited HCC cell growth in vivo.
conclusionsThis study firstly revealed that circZKSCAN1 curbed HCC progression via modulating miR-873-5p/DLC1 axis, providing a potential therapeutic target for HCC treatment.
