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

CircRNAs (circular RNA) are reported to regulate onset and progress multiple cancers. Nonetheless, the function along with the underlying mechanisms of circRNAs in HER-2-positive breast cancer (BC) remains unclear. CircRNA microarrays were performed to elucidate expression profiles of HER-2-positive BC cells. circRNA levels were quantified using qRT-PCR assay. Various in vitro along with in vivo assays were employed to further explore the effects of circGFRA1 in the progress of HER-2-positive BC and interactions of circGFRA1, miR-1228 and AIFM2 in Her-2-positive BC. CircGFRA1 was remarkably upregulated in HER-2-positive BC. Knockdown of circGFRA1 could attenuate HER-2-positive BC progression by inhibiting the proliferation, infiltration and migratory ability of HER-2-positive BC cells. Through ceRNA mechanism, circGFRA1 could bind to miR-1228 and alleviate inhibitory activity of miR-1228 on targeted gene AIFM2. In summary, circGFRA1-miR-1228-AIFM2 axis regulates HER-2-positive BC. CircGFRA1 is a novel promising treatment option for HER-2-positive BC.
