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

Cellular communication between gastric cancer (GC) cells with different metastatic potentials and microenvironments and resultant cancer progression is not fully understood. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) and exosomal circRNAs are known to play extremely important regulatory roles in GC occurrence and progression. Here, we revealed significant differences in coronin-like actin-binding protein 1C (CORO1C) derived circRNA hsa_circ_0000437 between GC and para-cancer tissues. Hsa_circ_0000437 regulated GC cell proliferation, invasion, migration and apoptosis by targeting Ser/Arg-rich splicing factor 3 (SRSF3) and inhibiting programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4). The ectopic expression of hsa_circ_0000437 dramatically promoted tumor growth in nude mice in vivo. Furthermore, both gain-of-function and loss-of-function experiments demonstrated that hsa_circ_0000437 promoted human lymphatic endothelial cells (HLECs) invasion, migration, and tube formation in vitro and also promoted lymphangiogenesis and lymph node metastasis (LNM) in popliteal LNM model in vivo, when it was enriched in GC-secreted exosomes and transferred into HLECs. Mechanistically, exosomal hsa_circ_0000437 induced LNM via HSPA2-ERK signaling pathway independent of VEGF-C. Clinical data showed that exosomal hsa_circ_0000437 was enriched in the serum of GC patients, which was associated with LNM. In summary, these findings highlight the potential role of hsa_circ_0000437 as an outcome biomarker in GC patients with LNM, which may provide a novel target for GC therapy.
