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

Numerous studies have manifested that cicular RNA (circRNA) is closely associated with the development of breast cancer (BC), but the specific mechanism has not been fully clarified. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of circCNOT2 on BC invasion, migration and epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) and its potential molecular mechanism. The results assured that circCNOT2 and Twist Family BHLH Transcription Factor (TWIST1) were elevated in BC, while microrNA (miR)-409-3p was reduced. CircCNOT2 was positively correlated with TWIST1 and negatively correlated with miR-409-3p. Elevated circCNOT2 is associated with poor prognosis of BC. Knockdown circCNOT2 or augmented miR-409-3p could promote apoptosis but repress proliferation, invasion, migration and EMT of BC cells. In addition, overexpression of circCNOT2 or TWIST1 accelerated BC invasion, migration and EMT, which could be reversed by simultaneous transfection of miR-409-3p-mimic. Further dual luciferase reporting and RNA-pull down assay clarified that circCNOT2 acted as a competing endogenous RNA of miR-409-3p to mediate TWIST1 expression. In conclusion, the results of this study suggest that circCNOT2 affects the biological behavior of BC via regulating the miR-409-3p/TWIST1 axis, and may be applied as a potential therapeutic target for BC later.
