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

backgroundCircular RNAs (circRNAs) are reported to be key regulators in the progression of human cancers. This work focuses on the function and molecular mechanism of circRNA-BNC2 (circ-BNC2) (also known as hsa_circ_0008732) in ovarian cancer (OC).

methodsQuantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was conducted to detect circ-BNC2, microRNA-223-3p (miR-223-3p) and F-box and WD repeat domain containing 7 (FBXW7) mRNA expressions in OC tissues and cells. Besides, cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8), transwell assay and cell cycle assays were executed to assess the proliferative, migrative, invasive abilities, and cell cycle progression of OC cells, respectively. Dual-luciferase reporter gene assay and RNA pull-down assay were used to validate the targeting relationships between miR-223-3p and circ-BNC2 or FBXW7. Western blot was adopted to determine FBXW7 protein levels in OC cells.

resultsCirc-BNC2 expression was downregulated in OC tissues and cell lines, which was associated with higher FIGO stage and lymph node metastasis of OC patients. Circ-BNC2 overexpression repressed the proliferation, migration, invasion of OC cells and induced cell cycle arrest, while silencing circ-BNC2 worked oppositely. Mechanistically, circ-BNC2 could upregulate FBXW7 expression in OC cells via sponging miR-223-3p.

conclusionCirc-BNC2 suppresses the progression of OC via regulating miR-223-3p / FBXW7 axis. Our findings provided potential biomarker for OC therapy.
