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

backgroundDysregulated circular RNAs (circRNAs) are involved in human cancers and may be used as biomarkers with the potential of clinical application. However, little is known regarding the mechanism of circRNAs and their clinical application value in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).

methodsIn the current study, we established the profile of circRNAs in HNSCC using microarray and then measured the expression of hsa_circ_0016148 in 137 paired HNSCC tissues by qRT-PCR technique, analyzed the relationship between hsa_circ_0016148 and clinicopathological data, and investigated its diagnostic and prognostic value. The hsa_circ_0016148-miRNA-mRNA interaction network was predicted and constructed by Cytoscape.

resultsOur study showed a circRNA expression profile and confirmed downregulated hsa_circ_0016148 in HNSCC tissues (p = 2.64E-35). The hsa_circ_0016148 expression is remarkably correlated with lymph node metastasis (p = 0.001) and clinical stage (p = 0.029). Then, the area under the receiver characteristic curve (AUC) was 0.912 with 92% of sensitivity and 86.9% specificity, respectively. Besides, our study demonstrated that lower-expressed hsa_circ_0016148 could independently predict poorer overall survival of HNSCC patients (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.456; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.265-0.784; p = 0.005). The hsa_circ_0016148-miRNA-mRNA interaction network was constructed, which included a total of nine targeted miRNAs.

conclusionTaken together, our results revealed that hsa_circ_0016148 might play a critical role in HNSCC tumorigenesis and may serve as an indicator with the potential of diagnosis and prognosis for HNSCC.
