CircKIF4A promotes non-small cell lung cancer proliferation and metastasis through MiR-1238/CLDN14 axis.

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
As the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is still in need of improved therapeutic strategies. CircKIF4A has been found to be involved in the progression of multiple cancers while its role in NSCLC remains unclear. To investigate the functions of circKIF4A, we assessed the expression of circKIF4A in NSCLC cells and tissues and performed experiments to determine the detailed functions of circKIF4A in NSCLC, including migration and proliferation. We found CircKIF4A expressed more heavily in the cells and tissues of NSCLC patients, and functional studies showed that inhibition of circKIF4A reduced NSCLC cells metastasis and proliferation. Furthermore, we seek to identify the underlying regulatory effect of circKIF4A in NSCLC. Studies revealed that circKIF4A sponged miR-1238 to promote NSCLC progression by up-regulating claudin14 (CLDN14) expression. In conclusion, circKIF4A is a potential diagnostic and therapeutic target in the circKIF4A/miR-1238/CLDN14 axis that plays an important role in NSCLC progression.
