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

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have demonstrated critical roles in the development of cancers. This study aimed to explore the function of circular RNA circPRKCI/miR-20a-5p/SOX4 axis in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Our data showed that the expression of circPRKCI and SOX4 was enhanced while the expression of miR-20a-5p was reduced in the clinical T-ALL samples. The expression of miR-20a-5p was negatively associated with circPRKCI and SOX4 in the T-ALL patients and the expression of circPRKCI was positive correlated with SOX4 in the T-ALL patients. Functionally, the silencing of circPRKCI suppressed the viability of T-ALL cells. Conversely, the knockdown of circPRKCI promoted the apoptosis of T-ALL cells. The levels of cleaved PARP and cleaved caspase3 were induced by the depletion of circPRKCI in T-ALL cells. Mechanically, the luciferase activity of circPRKCI was significantly decreased in T-ALL cells after the treatment of miR-20a-5p mimic. Meanwhile, the silencing of circPRKCI promoted the expression of miR-20a-5p in T-ALL cells, implying that circPRKCI serves as a competitive endogenous RNAs (ceRNA) of miR-20a-5p. We validated that the treatment of miR-20a-5p mimic inhibited the viability of T-ALL cells. MiR-20a-5p mimic enhanced the apoptosis of T-ALL cells. The expression of cleaved PARP and cleaved caspase3 was increased by miR-20a-5p mimic in the cells. In summarization, we concluded that circular RNA circPRKCI contributed to malignant progression of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia by modulating miR-20a-5p/SOX4 axis. Targeting circPRKCI may serve as a promising therapeutic strategy of T-ALL.
