Circ_0004018 suppresses cell proliferation and migration in hepatocellular carcinoma via miR-1197/PTEN/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.
Article in Cell cycle (Georgetown, Tex.), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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.
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
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common type of primary liver cancer. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been demonstrated to be a crucial player in multiple cancers. However, a large number of circRNAs remain to be explored. Our study focused on investigating hsa_circ_0004018 in HCC. Firstly, we conducted quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) to find that circ_0004018 was down-regulated in HCC cells. Western blot analysis was performed to detect the protein levels of phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN) and related factors of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. From the results of functional assays, we found that overexpression of circ_0004018 significantly inhibited the proliferative and migratory capacities of HCC cells. The regulatory mechanism of circ_0004018 in HCC was determined by RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP), RNA pull-down, and luciferase reporter assays, thereby we knew that circ_0004018 regulated PTEN by sequestering microRNA-1197 (miR-1197) to modulate PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Finally, rescue assays verified that circ_0004018 participated in modulation of cell proliferation and migration in HCC via sponging miR-1197 and regulating PTEN. In conclusion, circ_0004018 suppresses the proliferation and migration of HCC cells via sponging miR-1197 to inactivate the PTEN/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.
