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 endogenous non-coding RNAs, which are associated with various biological processes, including microRNA (miRNA) interaction, protein binding and regulatory splicing. circRNA_0005529 (circ_0005529) is derived from vacuolar protein sorting 33 homologue B (VPS33B), and its biological role in gastric cancer (GC) has not been examined. In this study, the expression and location of circ_0005529 and microRNA-527 (miR-527) were determined by qRT-PCR and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Cell proliferation and cell migration were determined by MTT, EdU incorporation, colony formation, wound scratch and transwell assays. In addition, immunohistochemistry and western blotting were performed to determine the expressions of specificity protein 1 (Sp1), PCNA, c-myc, E-cadherin and N-cadherin. Western blotting and luciferase reporter assay were performed to study the interaction between circ_0005529 and miR-527 or miR-527 and Sp1. The functional effects of circ_0005529 on GC through regulating Sp1 were further evaluated using xenograft and metastatic mouse models in vivo.

resultsOur results showed that circ_0005529 was upregulated in GC tissues and cells, and had promoting effects on cell proliferation and cell migration. Mechanism analysis suggested that circ_0005529 could bind to microRNA-527 (miR-527) and reduce its expression. The interaction between miR-527 and Sp1 in GC was systematically studied. In addition, the results indicated that Sp1 upregulation could rescue the effects on cell proliferation and migration caused by circ_0005529. Moreover, the inhibitory effects of circ_0005529 downregulation on GC growth and metastasis were evaluated in mouse models. These findings suggested that the axis of circ_0005529/miR-527/Sp1 may serve as a promising treatment target for GC diagnosis and treatment.

conclusionsThese findings suggested that the signal axis of circ_0005529/miR-527/Sp1 may has the potential to be explored as a novel therapeutic target for GC diagnosis and treatment. Mechanism diagram: During GC development, overexpressed circ_0005529 sponged miR-527 and then upregulated the expression of Sp1. Subsequently, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), cell proliferation and cell migration were promoted, which ultimately facilitated the tumor metastasis.
