Circ_0000003 regulates glutamine metabolism and tumor progression of tongue squamous cell carcinoma via the miR‑330‑3p/GLS axis.

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
Various circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been shown to exert vital functions in tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC). However, their roles in TSCC progression remain to be elucidated. This research aimed to investigate the role and mechanism of hsa_circ_0000003 (circ_0000003) in TSCC progression. Here, we found that circ_0000003 expression was upregulated in TSCC tissues and cell lines, and high circ_0000003 expression was correlated with advanced TNM stage, increased tumor size and poor patient survival. Circ_0000003 was revealed to facilitate cell proliferation, migration and invasion of TSCC cells. Mechanistically, we found that circ_0000003 acted as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) that sponged miR‑330‑3p, thereby elevating glutaminase (GLS) expression. Accordingly, cell invasion, migration, glutamine consumption, α‑ketoglutarate (α‑KG) production and ATP production were significantly decreased by circ_0000003 knockdown in TSCC cells, and these effects were reversed by miR‑330‑3p inhibition. In conclusion, circ_0000003 facilitates TSCC cell proliferation, migration, invasion and glutamine catabolism by regulating the miR‑330‑3p/GLS pathway.
