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

Abnormal expression of circular RNA (circRNA) is closely related to the occurrence and development of many cancers. By screening the expression of circRNA, we identified a novel circRNA termed as has_circ_0023326 in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). We verified the expression of circPPFIA1 and found that it was upregulated in LSCC tissues compared to the adjacent normal tissues. Functional studies were carried out to detect the effect of circPPFIA1 expression on the phenotype of LSCC cells. These results suggest that circPPFIA1 knockdown can suppress the proliferation, migration, and invasion of LSCC cells, while circPPFIA1 overexpression can promote these processes. Mechanistically, miR-340-3p was predicted to be the target miRNA sponged by circPPFIA1 as confirmed through the luciferase assay and rescue experiments. In addition, miR-340-3p was found to target ELK1 and inhibit its expression. Taken together, circPPFIA1 promotes the progression of LSCC via the miR-340-3p/ELK1 signaling axis, which may serve as a novel prognostic or therapeutic target for LSCC.
