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

Cervical cancer is the most common malignant gynecological tumor. Circular RNA (circRNA) circ_0023404 is reported to be upregulated in cervical cancer cells. This aim is to explore the role and mechanism of circ_0023404 in cervical cancer. circ_0023404, microRNA-636 (miR-636), and cytochrome P450 2S1 (CYP2S1) levels were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis were detected by 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2-H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EDU) assay, colony formation assay, transwell assay, and cytometry assay. Protein levels of cyclin D1, matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP9), Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), and CYP2S1 were examined by western blot assay. The binding relationship between miR-636 and circ_0023404 or CYP2S1 was predicted by Circinteractome or targetscan, and then verified by a dual-luciferase reporter assay and RNA pull-down assay. circ_0023404 and CYP2S1 expression were increased, and miR-636 was decreased in cervical cancer tissues and cells. Moreover, circ_0023404 knockdown could repress proliferation, migration, invasion, and promote apoptosis of cervical cancer cells in vitro. Mechanically, circ_0023404 could regulate CYP2S1 expression by sponging miR-636. circ_0023404 silencing could attenuate the progression of cervical cancer cells partly by targeting the miR-636/CYP2S1 axis, hinting at a promising therapeutic target for cervical cancer.
