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 biological functions of circular RNAs in liver tumorigenesis have been well demonstrated by a number of studies. Nevertheless, to the best of our knowledge, the role and mechanism of action of hsa_circ_0008537 (circ_0008537) in liver cancer pathogenesis remain undetermined. In the present study, circ_0008537 expression was associated with the GLI3 gene and was markedly increased in liver cancer tissue specimens and cells. High expression levels of circ_0008537 exhibited a poor prognosis. In addition, circ_0008537 overexpression resulted in an increased proliferation, migration and invasion of liver cancer cells, whereas circ_0008537 knockdown exhibited opposite effects. circ_0008537 acted as a sponge of microRNA‑153‑3p (miR‑153‑3p), and a negative correlation was observed between circ_0008537 and miR‑153‑3p expression in liver cancer. Transfection with miR‑153‑3p further abolished the effects of circ_0008537 on the malignant behavior of liver cancer cells. Furthermore, circ_0008537 indirectly affected the expression levels of pro‑survival protein myeloid cell leukemia 1 (MCL1) and snail family zinc finger 1 (Snail1) via miR‑153‑3p in liver cancer cells. In conclusion, the data indicated that circ_0008537 facilitated liver carcinogenesis by indirectly regulating miR‑153‑3p and leading to the release of MCL1 and Snail1.
