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

Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies worldwide. Circular RNAs (CircRNAs) were revealed to be implicated in the development of breast cancer. In this research, we aimed to investigate the role and underlying mechanism of circ_0008500 in the development and radiosensitivity of breast cancer. Using real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and western blot, we found that hsa_circ_0008500 (circ_0008500) and profilin 2 (PFN2) were increased, while microRNA-758-3p (miR-758-3p) was decreased in breast cancer tissues and cells. Cell viability, the number of colonies, proliferation and apoptosis were detected using CCK-8, colony formation, EdU assays and flow cytometry, respectively. Dual-luciferase reporter and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays were devoted to test the interaction between miR-758-3p and circ_0008500 or PFN2. The results showed that circ_0008500 knockdown inhibited cell growth, and facilitated cell apoptosis and radiosensitivity in breast cancer cells in vitro. Moreover, circ_0008500 regulated PFN2 expression by sponging miR-758-3p. Functionally, circ_0008500 knockdown regulated cell behaviors and radiosensitivity by targeting miR-758-3p to downregulate PFN2 expression in vitro. Additionally, in vivo tumor formation assay and immunohistochemistry (IHC) assay demonstrated that circ_0008500 knockdown enhanced the radiosensitivity and repressed tumor growth in vivo. In conclusion, circ_0008500 inhibition promoted the radiosensitivity and restrained the development of breast cancer by downregulating PFN2 expression via targeting miR-758-3p.
