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

backgroundA growing body of evidence indicates that abnormal expression of circular RNAs (circRNAs) plays a crucial role by acting as molecular sponges of microRNAs (miRNAs) in various diseases, including cancer. In this study, we explored whether circCCDC85A could function as a miR-550a-5p sponge and influence breast cancer progression.

methodsWe detected the expression of circCCDC85A in breast cancer tissues and cells using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). CCK-8 and colony formation assay were used to detect the proliferative ability of breast cancer cells. Wound healing assay and transwell migration and invasion assays were used to detect the migrative and invasive abilities of breast cancer cells. We also examined the interactions between circCCDC85A and miR-550a-5p using FISH, RNA-binding protein immunoprecipitation (RIP), and luciferase reporter assay. Moreover, we performed luciferase reporter assay, qRT-PCR, and Western blot to confirm the direct targeting of miR-550a-5p to MOB1A.

resultsThe expression of circCCDC85A in breast cancer tissues was obviously lower than that in normal breast tissues. Over-expression of circCCDC85A substantially inhibited the proliferative, migrative, and invasive ability of breast cancer cells, while knocking down of circCCDC85A enhanced the aforementioned properties of breast cancer cells. Moreover, enforced expression of circCCDC85A inhibits the oncogenic activity of miR-550a-5p and increases the expression of MOB1A targeted by miR-550a-5p. Further molecular mechanism research showed that circCCDC85A may act as a molecular sponge for miR-550a-5p, thus restoring miR-550a-5p-mediated targeting repression of tumor suppressor MOB1A in breast cancer cells.

conclusionOur findings provide novel evidence that circCCDC85A inhibits the progression of breast cancer by functioning as a molecular sponge of miR-550a-5p to enhance MOB1A expression.
