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

Melanoma is one of the most aggressive and life-threatening skin cancers, and in this research, we aimed to explore the functional role of circular RNA VANGL1 (circVANGL1) in melanoma progression. The expression levels of circVANGL1 were observed to be significantly increased in clinical melanoma tissues and cell lines. Moreover, circVANGL1 knockdown suppressed, while circVANGL1 overexpression promoted the proliferation, migration and invasion abilities of melanoma cells. Further investigations confirmed the direct binding relation between circVANGL1 and miR-150-5p in melanoma, and restoration of miR-150-5p blocked the effects of circVANGL1 overexpression in melanoma cells. We further found that circVANGL1 was up-regulated by TGF-β treatment, and the enhanced EMT of TGF-β-treated melanoma cells was blocked by circVANGL1 knockdown. In conclusion, these results indicated that circVANGL1 might serve as a promising therapeutic target for melanoma.
