Circ-RNF121 regulates tumor progression and glucose metabolism by miR-1224-5p/FOXM1 axis in colorectal cancer.
Article in Cancer cell international, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 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
aimPrevious studies have reported that circular RNA (circRNA) is associated with the pathogenesis of CRC. This study was designed to reveal the mechanism of circ-ring finger protein 121 (circ-RNF121) in colorectal cancer (CRC). MATERIALS AND
methodsThe levels of circ-RNF121, microRNA-1224-5p (miR-1224-5p) and forkhead box M1 (FOXM1) were determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Protein level was detected by western blot. Cell proliferation was analyzed by 3-(4,5-Dimethylthazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) and cell colony formation assays. Flow cytometry analysis was performed to investigate cell apoptosis. Cell migration and invasion were investigated by transwell and wound-healing assays. Cell glycolysis was detected using glucose, lactate and ADP/ATP ratio assay kits. The binding relationship between miR-1224-5p and circ-RNF121 or FOXM1 was predicted by starBase online database, and identified by dual-luciferase reporter assay. The impacts of circ-RNF121 silencing on tumor formation in vivo were disclosed by in vivo tumor formation assay. KEY
findingsCirc-RNF121 and FOXM1 expression were dramatically upregulated, while miR-1224-5p expression was downregulated in CRC tissues or cells compared with control groups. Circ-RNF121 silencing repressed cell proliferation, migration, invasion and glycolysis but induced cell apoptosis in CRC, which were attenuated by miR-1224-5p inhibitor. Additionally, circ-RNF121 acted as a sponge of miR-1224-5p and miR-1224-5p bound to FOXM1. Circ-RNF121 silencing inhibited tumor growth in vivo. Furthermore, circ-RNF121 was secreted through being packaged into exosomes. SIGNIFICANCE: The finding provided a novel insight into studying circRNA-mediated CRC therapy.
