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

Recent studies have shown that circular RNA circFLNA is abnormally expressed in a variety of malignant tumors, but its role and mechanism in bladder carcinoma (BCa) are still unclear. The present paper aims to contribute to research on the effects and mechanism of circFLNA on the malignant phenotype of BCa. In this study, the expressions of circFLNA, miR-216a-3p and BTG2 in BCa and BCa cells (EJ, T24, 5637, TCC-SUP) were detected by qRT-PCR. EdU staining, colony formation, Transwell assay, wound healing assays, and sphere formation assay were used to measure the cell proliferation, viability, invasion, migration, and cell stemness of BCa cells after circFLNA overexpression. In addition, the correlation existed between miR-216a-3p and circFLNA or BTG2 was confirmed by Dual-Luciferase Reporter assay and RNA pull-down. Western blot was utilized to determine the expression of BTG2, MMP2, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related proteins (vimentin, E-cadherin) and stem cell-specific proteins (CD34, OCT4, SOX2). Our study confirmed that downregulated circFLNA and BTG2 expression and upregulated miR-216a-3p were found in both BCa tissues and cell lines. Meanwhile, upregulated circFLNA inhibited proliferation, invasion and migration, EMT and stemness of BCa cells.
