circRNA TCFL5 Promote Esophageal Cancer Progression by Modulating M2 Macrophage Polarization via the miR-543-FMNL2 Axis.
Article in Journal of oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Objective: The mechanism of circRNA on M2 macrophage polarization, which contributes to esophageal cancer, remains unclear. This study is aimed at clarifying the mechanism of circRNA on esophageal cancer by regulating M2 macrophage polarization. Methods: The expression of circRNA TCFL5 and miR-543 was detected by qRT-PCR. Western blot was used to detect the expression of FMNL2 and CD163. CCK-8 and transwell assay was used to detect the proliferation, migration, and invasion of Eca109 and KYSE150, respectively. Flow cytometry was used to detect the CD163 positive cells. The contents of IL-10, TGF- Results: 156 upregulated circRNAs and 91 downregulated circRNAs in esophageal cancer tissues were identified, and the expression of circRNA TCFL5 showed the most significant upregulation. Overexpression of circRNA TCFL5 promotes proliferation, invasion, and migration of Eca109 and KYSE150 and promotes tumor growth Conclusion: In the present study, we identified that circRNA TCFL5 was dramatically upregulated in esophageal cancer, and circRNA TCFL5 promotes esophageal cancer progression by modulating M2 macrophage polarization via the miR-543-FMNL2 axis, which provides a potential target for the treatment of esophageal cancer.
