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

Background: It was reported that circular RNA (circRNA) circCTNNA1 plays an oncogenic role in colorectal cancer, while its role in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is unknown. This study aimed to explore the role of circCTNNA1 in MCL. Methods: Samples of B lymphocytes were collected from 56 MCL patients and 56 healthy controls. The expression of circCTNNA1 and miR-34a in these samples were determined by RT-qPCR. The direct interaction between circCTNNA1 and miR-34a in MCL cells was detected using RNA-RNA pulldown assay. Overexpression assays were performed to study the interactions between circCTNNA1 and miR-34a. Cell proliferation was assessed with BrdU assay. Results: The results showed that circCTNNA1 was upregulated in MCL and high expression levels of circCTNNA1 predicted the poor survival of MCL patients. MiR-34a was downregulated in MCL and inversely correlated with circCTNNA1. CircCTNNA1 was predicted to interact with miR-34a, and the interaction between them was confirmed by RNA pull-down assay. Interestingly, overexpression of circCTNNA1 and miR-34a did not affect the expression of each other. Cell proliferation analysis showed that overexpression of circCTNNA1 reversed the inhibitory effects of overexpression of miR-34a on cell proliferation. Conclusion: Upregulation of circCTNNA1 in MCL predicts poor survival of patients and it may sponge miR-34a to promote cancer cell proliferation.
