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

abstractCholesteatoma is a benign cystic lesion that can continue to grow like a tumor. Circular ribonucleic acid (RNA) hsa_circ_0074491 (circ_0074491) has been reported to be down-regulated in cholesteatoma tissues. However, the role and regulatory mechanism of circ_0074491 in the growth of cholesteatoma are unclear.The expression of circ_0074491, microRNA (miR)-22-3p, and miR-125a-5p in cholesteatoma tissues was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. The proliferation, cell cycle, apoptosis, migration, and invasion of cholesteatoma keratinocytes were evaluated by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide, plate clone, flow cytometry, or transwell assays. Several protein levels were examined by western blotting. The targeting relationship between miR-22-3p or miR-125a-5p and circ_0074491 was verified via dual-luciferase reporter and RNA pull-down assays.We observed the downregulation of circ_0074491 in cholesteatoma tissues. Furthermore, circ_0074491 knockdown facilitated cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and repressed cell apoptosis in cholesteatoma keratinocytes. Circ_0074491 was verified as a decoy for miR-22-3p and miR-125a-5p in cholesteatoma keratinocytes. Both miR-22-3p and miR-125a-5p silencing reversed the impacts of circ_0074491 silencing on proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion of cholesteatoma keratinocytes. Also, circ_0074491 knockdown activated the PI3K/Akt pathway in cholesteatoma keratinocytes via miR-22-3p and miR-125a-5p.Circ_0074491 played a suppressive role in cholesteatoma through inactivating the PI3K/Akt pathway via binding to miR-22-3p and miR-125a-5p, which provided a novel evidence for the involvement of circRNA in the development of cholesteatoma.
