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

As a new class of endogenous noncoding RNAs, circular RNAs (circRNAs), have been found to influence cell development and function by sponging microRNAs. MicroRNA (miR)-198 is downregulated in various cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We therefore searched for dysregulated circRNAs that could sponge miR-198 in HCC. By analyzing relevant circRNA databases (circBase, TargetScan and CircInteractome), we found that the miR-198-binding circRNA hsa_circSP3 is upregulated in HCC. CircSP3 expression correlated negatively with miR-198 expression in HCC tissues. Dual luciferase reporter assays indicated that circSP3 bound to miR-198. CircSP3 overexpression in HCC cells induced expression of cyclin-dependent kinase 4, a target gene of miR-198. Silencing circSP3 inhibited HCC cell proliferation and migration by downregulating cyclin-dependent kinase 4, whereas inhibiting miR-198 reversed those effects.
