Hsa_circ_0000078 Regulates miR-205-5p/EREG Pathway to Inhibit Cervical Cancer Progression.
Article in Molecular biotechnology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
It is well established that circular RNAs (circRNAs) play a role in tumor initiation and tumorigenesis. The goal of this study was to reveal the detailed functions and regulatory mechanisms of circ_0000078 in cervical cancer (CC). Circ_0000078, miR-205-5p, and epiregulin (EREG) mRNA expression levels were examined using RT-qPCR. Western blotting was performed to quantify EREG protein. Cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion were examined by performing CCK-8, caspase 3 activity, wound healing, and transwell assays, respectively. The effect of circ_0000078 on tumor growth in vivo was confirmed in a xenograft model. The putative relationship between miR-205-5p and circ_0000078 or EREG, as predicted by bioinformatics analysis, was evaluated by dual-luciferase and RNA immunoprecipitation assays. Aberrant downregulation of circ_0000078 and EREG as well as upregulation of miR-205-5p were observed in cervical tumor samples and cancer cells. Ectopic expression of circ _0000078 not only restrained cancer cell growth, survival, migration, and invasiveness, but also decelerated tumor formation and development in a mouse model. miR-205-5p, acts as a target of circ_0000078 and directly binds to EREG to repress its expression. Overexpression of miR-205-5p reversed the inhibitory effects of circ_0000078 upregulation on cancer cell behavior and also partially abolished the anti-cancer effects of EREG upregulation in vitro. Circ_0000078 inhibits the growth of cancer by interfering with the miR-205-5p/EREG network, acting as a tumor suppressor in CC. These results provide a better understanding of the pathogenesis of this disease.
