Upregulation of hsa_circ_0000977 participates in esophageal squamous cancer progression by sponging miR-874-3p.
Article in Journal of clinical laboratory analysis, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
backgroundEsophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most common clinical malignancies of the digestive system, characterized by high mortality but not evident early symptoms. Molecular markers for diagnostic and outcome prediction are urgently needed. Circular RNAs might play essential roles in the progression of ESCC.
methodsHsa_circ_0000977 was identified using circRNA microarrays and qRT-PCR. The diagnostic value of hsa_circ_0000977 was calculated. We also examined in vitro cell functions in ECA109 and TE12 ESCC cells to determine the effect of hsa_circ_0000977. A dual-luciferase reporter vector validated the binding of hsa_circ_0000977 to miR-874-3p.
resultsThe top 10 significantly upregulated circRNAs from microarray assays were hsa_circ_0000977, hsa_circ_0006220, hsa_circ_0043278, hsa_circ_0000691, hsa_circ_0000288, hsa_circ_0000367, hsa_circ_0021647, hsa_circ_0006440, hsa_circRNA_405571 and hsa_circRNA_100790, while the top 10 significantly downregulated circRNAs were hsa_circ_0008389, hsa_circ_0089763, hsa_circ_0089762, hsa_circ_0000102, hsa_circ_0001714, hsa_circ_0089761, hsa_circ_0007326, hsa_circ_0001549, hsa_circ_0005133 and hsa_circRNA_405965. Hsa_circ_0000977 was significantly upregulated in ESCC (p < 0.01) and had diagnostic value in ESCC. The hsa_circ_0000977 expression level was related to the pT stage and numbers of lymph nodes in ESCC patients. Elevated hsa_circ_0000977 promoted cell proliferation, migration and inhibited apoptosis in ESCC cells. Hsa_circ_0000977 might function as a micro-RNA sponge to competitively bind miR-874-3p.
conclusionDisordered hsa_circ_0000977 expression can promote carcinogenesis in ESCC and might serve as a diagnostic biomarker to evaluate the occurrence and development of esophageal cancer.
