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

Cervical cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death among women, which is attributed partly by limited treatment options. Recent studies have provided in-depth explanations regarding the role of circular RNA in cancers. We aimed to investigate the role of circular RNA_0000326 in cervical cancer. Bioinformatics analysis revealed a high circ_0000326 expression in cervical cancer. Cervical cancer cells and tissues were also observed to have elevated levels of circ_0000326 and the upregulation of circ_0000326 depended on the stage of cancer. Transfection with siRNA of circ_0000326 resulted in the inhibition of proliferation, migration and cell cycle of cancer cells. Interestingly, we confirmed that circ_0000326 served as a sponge for microRNA-338-3p and that the miRNA bound to Cyclin-dependent kinase 4. In the presence of microRNA-338-3p mimic or silencing of circ_0000326, Cyclin-dependent kinase 4 expression was decreased. Transfection with microRNA-338-3p mimic inhibited cell clone formation and proliferation. Moreover,
