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) take part in colorectal cancer malignancies. CircRNA dedicator of cytokinesis 1 (circ_DOCK1) is involved in colorectal cancer progression, but the mechanism underlying this circRNA that takes part in colorectal cancer development remains largely undetermined.

methodsTumor and normal para-cancerous tissues were collected from 42 colorectal cancer patients. Human colorectal cancer cell lines (HCT116 and SW480) were used for the experiments in vitro. Circ_DOCK1, microRNA (miR)-132-3p, and ubiquitin-specific protease 11 (USP11) levels were measured through quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting. Cell growth, metastasis, and apoptosis were investigated via colony formation, 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) staining, MTT, flow cytometry, Western blotting, and transwell analyses. The target association was evaluated via dual-luciferase reporter analysis, RNA pull-down, and immunoprecipitation (RIP). Xenograft assay was performed using HCT116 cells. USP11 and Ki67 levels in tumor tissues were detected via immunohistochemistry.

resultsCirc_DOCK1 expression was enhanced in colorectal cancer tissues and cells. Silencing circ_DOCK1 repressed cell growth, migration, and invasion, and facilitated apoptosis. Circ_DOCK1 sponged miR-132-3p, and miR-132-3p silence mitigated the effect of circ_DOCK1 interference on cell growth, metastasis, and apoptosis. MiR-132-3p targeted USP11, and circ_DOCK1 could regulate USP11 level by miR-132-3p. MiR-132-3p suppressed cell growth, metastasis, and apoptosis, and USP11 attenuated these effects. Knockdown of circ_DOCK1 decreased colorectal cancer cell xenograft tumor growth.

conclusionCirc_DOCK1 interference suppressed cell growth and metastasis, and increased apoptosis of colorectal cancer via decreasing USP11 by increasing miR-132-3p.
