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) are a type of non-coding RNA which play an important role in the regulation of biological processes of various malignant tumors. However, the potential molecular mechanisms and roles of circRNAs in colorectal cancer (CRC) remain unelucidated.

methodsIn the current study, we analyzed the data of high-throughput microarray sequencing to screen differentially expressed circRNAs in CRC. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), colony-formation, transwell, mouse xenograft models and immunohistochemistry assays were used to explore the function of circRNAs. TargetScan database, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), double luciferase and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) were used to explore the molecular mechanism.

resultsWe identified circMMP1 (hsa_circ_0024109) as a frequently upregulated circRNA in both CRC tissues and cells. Both

conclusionsIn conclusion, our study identified the biological role of the circMMP1-miR-1238-MMP1/MMP2/MMP9 axis in the growth and metastasis of CRC, which is crucial for the monitoring and treatment of CRC. Further research on circMMP1 may provide a theoretical basis for diagnostic biomarkers of early CRC screening.
