circCORO1C promotes the proliferation and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma by enhancing the expression of PD-L1 through NF-κB pathway.
Article in Journal of clinical laboratory analysis, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
backgroundCircular RNA (circRNA) affects the occurrence and development of human cancers, but the specific mechanism of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has not yet been fully understood.
methodsCircRNAs were determined by human circRNA array analysis and quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Cell viability, migration, invasion, and other indicators were used for cell function analysis. Knockdown and overexpression techniques were used to explore the mechanism of circCORO1C in the occurrence and development of HCC by RNA sequencing, qRT-PCR, western blot, and other methods.
resultsAmong the thousands of circRNAs, 1238 circRNAs were significantly changed. As for the top 10 upregulated circRNAs, the expression of circRNAs, hsa_circ_0036412, hsa_circ_0036411, hsa_circ_0028071, hsa_circ_0036409, hsa_circ_0000437, hsa_circ_0021427, hsa_circ_0097182, hsa_circ_0028067, hsa_circ_0006852, and hsa_circ_0003620 were significantly increased. In regard to the top 10 downregulated circRNAs, the expression of hsa_circ_0123629, hsa_circ_0096121, hsa_circ_0038932, hsa-circRNA3310-44, hsa_circ_0045746, hsa_circ_0016836, hsa-circRNA10899-9, hsa_circ_0050116, hsa_circ_0035543, and hsa_circ_0092118 decreased significantly. About these circRNAs, the downregulation of hsa_circ_0006852 (circCORO1C) can inhibit the tumorigenesis of HCC cells in vivo and in vitro, and the overexpression of circCORO1C can enhance the proliferation and metastasis ability of HCC cells. Mechanistically, circCORO1C activated the NF-κB signaling pathway, increased P65 phosphorylation and upregulation of c-Myc and COX-2, leading to increased PD-L1 expression.
conclusionCircCORO1C upregulates c-Myc and COX-2 through NF-κB signaling pathway, leading to the upregulation of PD-L1, which jointly promotes the development of HCC, suggesting that circCORO1C is a promising biomarker and therapeutic target for HCC.
