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: Previous research studies have shown that the elevation of circular RNA (circRNA), hsa_circRNA_002178, was associated with the poor prognosis of breast cancer and colorectal cancer, while its molecular mechanisms underlying the effects on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are still elusive. Methods: The microarray dataset GSE97332 was obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and calculated by using the GEO2R tool to identify differentially expressed circRNAs. Differentially expressed hsa_circRNA_002178, in 7 HCC tissue samples and paracancerous tissues, as well as in HCC cell lines and normal hepatocytes, was checked by RT-qPCR. Cell proliferation, invasion, migration, and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related proteins were tested in hsa_circRNA_002178-overexpressed or hsa_circRNA_002178-knocked down HCC cells. Subsequently, we identified whether hsa_circRNA_002178 binds to serine- and arginine-rich splicing factor 1 (SRSF1) and then analyzed their function in regulating HCC cell behavior. The effect on HCC cell xenograft tumor growth was observed by the knockdown of hsa_circRNA_002178 Results: GEO2R-based analysis displayed that hsa_circRNA_002178 was upregulated in HCC tissues. Overexpression or knockdown of hsa_circRNA_002178 encouraged or impeded HCC cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and EMT program. Mechanically, hsa_circRNA_002178 bound to SRSF1 3'-untranslated region (UTR) and stabilized its expression. SRSF1 weakening eliminated the effects of pcDNA-hsa_circRNA_002178 on cell malignant behavior. Finally, the knockdown of hsa_circRNA_002178 was confirmed to prevent xenograft tumor growth. Conclusions: hsa_circRNA_002178 overexpression encouraged the stability of SRSF1 mRNA expression, and it may serve as an upstream factor of SRSF1 for the diagnosis of HCC.
