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

backgroundTargeting glutamine metabolism is previously indicated as a potential and attractive strategy for gastric cancer (GC) therapy. However, the underlying mechanisms responsible for the modification of glutamine metabolism in GC cells have not been fully elucidated. Accordingly, the current study sought to investigate the physiological mechanisms of RUNX3-mediated circDYRK1A in glutamine metabolism of GC.

methodsFirstly, GC tissues and adjacent normal tissues were obtained from 50 GC patients to determine circDYRK1A expression in GC tissues. Next, the binding affinity among RUNX3, circDYRK1A, miR-889-3p, and FBXO4 was detected to clarify the mechanistic basis. Moreover, GC cells were subjected to ectopic expression and knockdown manipulations of circDYRK1A, miR-889-3p, and/or FBXO4 to assay GC cell malignant phenotypes, levels of glutamine, glutamic acid, and α-KG in cell supernatant and glutamine metabolism-related proteins (GLS and GDH). Finally, nude mice were xenografted with GC cells to explore the in vivo effects of circDYRK1A on the tumorigenicity and apoptosis.

resultscircDYRK1A was found to be poorly expressed in GC tissues. RUNX3 was validated to bind to the circDYRK1A promoter, and circDYRK1A functioned as a miR-889-3p sponge to up-regulate FBXO4 expression. Moreover, RUNX3-upregulated circDYRK1A reduced levels of glutamine, glutamic acid, and α-KG, and protein levels of GLS and GDH, and further diminished malignant phenotypes in vitro. Furthermore, in vivo experimentation substantiated that circDYRK1A inhibited the tumorigenicity and augmented the apoptosis in GC.

conclusionIn conclusion, these findings highlighted the significance and mechanism of RUNX3-mediated circDYRK1A in suppressing glutamine metabolism in GC via the miR-889-3p/FBXO4 axis.
