CircSTAM inhibits migration and invasion of trophoblast cells by regulating miR-148a-5p/PTEN 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
backgroundThe mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of preeclampsia (PE) remains unclear. Exploring the molecular players in PE progression can provide insights into targeted therapy.
methodsThe expression levels of circSTAM in placental chorionic tissues of PE patients and normal pregnant women were compared by RT-qPCR. CircSTAM was knocked down by small interfering RNA to investigate its role in migration, invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT) of trophoblast HTR-8/SVneo cells. The downstream target of circSTAM was predicted using online bioinformatics resources, and their molecular interaction was examined by luciferase reporter assay.
resultsCircSTAM was upregulated in PE placenta tissues in comparison to normal placental tissues. CircSTAM knockdown significantly enhanced cellular invasion, migration, as well as EMT. Mir-148a-5p was identified as a target of circSTAM to regulate cell migration and invasion. Mir-148a-5p negatively regulated PTEN expression in trophoblast HTR-8 /SVneo cells.
conclusionIn summary, circSTAM upregulation in PE trophoblasts promoted the invasion, migration and EMT. CircSTAM may modulate trophoblast phenotype by impinging on mir-148a-5p/PTEN axis. These data provided novel insights into the pathogenesis of PE.
