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

backgroundColorectal cancer (CRC) imposes a tremendous burden on human health, with high morbidity and mortality. Circular ribonucleic acids (circRNAs), a new type of noncoding RNA, are considered to participate in cancer pathogenesis as microRNA (miRNA) sponges. However, the dysregulation and biological functions of circRNAs in CRC remain to be explored.

aimTo identify potential circRNA biomarkers of CRC and explore their functions in CRC carcinogenesis.

methodsCircRNAs and miRNAs differentially expressed in CRC tissues were identified by analyzing expression profiles from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Circ_0000375 and circ_0011536 were selected as CRC biomarker candidates. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was utilized to evaluate the expression of these 2 circRNAs in CRC tissues, serums and cell lines. Receiver operating characteristic curves were generated to assess the diagnostic performances of these 2 circRNAs. Then, functional experiments, including cell counting kit-8, wound healing and Transwell invasion assays, were performed after the overexpression of circ_0000375 and circ_0011536 in CRC cell lines. Furthermore, candidate target miRNAs of circ_0000375 and circ_0011536 were predicted

resultsDownregulated circ_0000375 and circ_0011536 expression was observed in CRC tissues in GSE126095, clinical CRC tissue and serum samples and CRC cell lines. The areas under the curve for circ_0000375 and circ_0011536 were 0.911 and 0.885 in CRC tissue and 0.976 and 0.982 in CRC serum, respectively. Moreover, the serum levels of these 2 circRNAs were higher in patients at 30 d postsurgery than in patients before surgery, suggesting that the serum expression of circ_0000375 and circ_0011536 is related to CRC tumorigenesis. Circ_0000375 and circ_0011536 overexpression inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of CRC cells. Furthermore, miR-1182 and miR-1246, which were overexpressed in CRC tissues in GSE41655, GSE49246 and GSE115513, were verified as target miRNAs of circ_0000375 and circ_0011536, respectively, by luciferase reporter assays. The downstream genes of miR-1182 and miR-1246 were enriched in some CRC-associated pathways, such as the Wnt signaling pathway.

conclusionCirc_0000375 and circ_0011536 may function as tumor suppressors in CRC progression, serving as novel biomarkers for CRC diagnosis and as promising candidates for therapeutic exploration.
