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

backgroundAs a novel class of endogenous ncRNAs, Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been verified to be involved in the carcinogenesis and tumor progression.

objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the potential function of a candidate circRNA hsa_circ_0036988 in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).

methodsThe altered expression of hsa_circ_0036988 was validated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) in OSCC samples and OSCC cell lines. The associations between the levels of hsa_circ_0036988 and the clinicopathological features were statistically analysed. The function of hsa_circ_0036988 in OSCC were evaluated via a series of in vitro experiments by using constructed plasmids or siRNA. Western blotting assays were conducted to evaluate changes in protein expression levels.

resultsHsa_circ_0036988 was significantly downregulated in OSCC tissues compared with adjacent normal tissues. While low expression of hsa_circ_0036988 was highly correlated with lymph nodes metastasis. Overexpression or knockdown of hsa_circ_0036988 significantly affected the proliferation, migration and invasion of OSCC cells. Furthermore, the altered expression of hsa_circ_0036988 have an impact on the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related protein expression levels.

conclusionsOur findings indicated that hsa_circ_0036988 may affect cell proliferation, migration and invasion by regulating EMT progress, which might provide a therapeutic strategy for the treatment of OSCC.
