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

backgroundCircular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of important regulators in various human cancers, including lung cancer. Here, we aimed to investigate the role of circ_0010235 in lung cancer.

methodsThe expression of circ_0010235, microRNA-636 (miR-636) and PDL1 was measured by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Cell proliferation was evaluated by CCK-8, colony formation, and 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) assays. Cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. Cell invasion was assessed by transwell assay. All protein levels were determined by western blot assay. In order to detect the roles of circ_0010235 in immune escape, lung cancer cells were cocultured with peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) or cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells in vitro. The relationship between miR-636 and circ_0010235 or PDL1 was verified by dual-luciferase reporter assay and RNA pulldown assay. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis was used to detect Ki67 and programmed death-ligand 1 (PDL1) expression. A xenograft tumor model was established to verify the function of circ_0010235 in vivo.

resultsCirc_0010235 was overexpressed in lung cancer. Circ_0010235 knockdown inhibited proliferation, invasion and immune escape and promoted apoptosis of lung cancer cells. MiR-636 was a target of circ_0010235, and miR-636 inhibition reversed the effects of circ_0010235 knockdown in lung cancer cells. PDL1 was a direct target of miR-636, and miR-636 suppressed the proliferation and invasion and increased apoptosis and antitumor immunity in lung cancer cells by downregulating PDL1. Moreover, circ_0010235 positively regulated PDL1 expression by sponging miR-636. Additionally, circ_0010235 knockdown hampered tumorigenesis in vivo.

conclusionCirc_0010235 knockdown inhibited lung cancer progression and increased antitumor immunity by regulating the miR-636/PDL1 axis.
