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

Macrophage-derived exosomes (Mφ-Exos) are involved in tumor progression, but its role in glioma is not fully understood. RBP-J is related to macrophage activation. In this study, we assess the role of exosomes derived from RBP-J-overexpressed macrophages (RBP-J OE Mφ-Exos) in glioma. The circular RNA (circRNA) profiles in RBP-J OE Mφ-Exos and THP-1-like macrophages (WT Mφ)-Exos were evaluated using circRNA microarray. Then the functions of Mφ-Exo-circRNA in glioma cells were assessed via CCK-8, EdU, Transwell invasion, and nude mouse assays. Besides, luciferase reporter assay, RNA immunoprecipitation, and Pearson's correlation analysis were adopted to confirm interactions. We found that circRNA BTG (circBTG2) is upregulated in RBP-J OE Mφ-Exos compared to WT Mφ-Exos. RBP-J OE Mφ-Exos co-culture and circBTG2 overexpression inhibited proliferation and invasion of glioma cells, whereas circBTG2 knockdown promotes tumor growth in vivo. The effects of RBP-J OE Mφ-Exos on glioma cells can be reversed by the circBTG2 knockdown. In conclusions, Exo-circBTG2 secreted from RBP-J OE Mφ inhibits tumor progression through the circBTG2/miR-25-3p/PTEN pathway, and circBTG2 is probably a diagnostic biomarker and potential target for glioma therapy.
