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

Hundreds of circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been identified as key regulators in biological processes; however, only few of these circRNAs have been functionally described to participate in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The present study aimed to reveal the function and molecular mechanisms of circ_0124208 in HCC. Real-time quantitative PCR revealed the upregulation of circ_0124208 in HCC tissues and cells. Based on cell functional experiments, silencing circ_0124208 attenuated proliferation and migration, but boosted the apoptosis of Hep 3B and Huh7 cells in vitro. The in vivo experiment further validated the repression of tumor growth via circ_0124208 knockdown. RNA immunoprecipitation and dual-luciferase reporter assays showed that circ_0124208 sponged miR-338-3p and reduced its expression. miR-338-3p inhibition was found to partially reverse the tumor-suppressive effects caused by circ_0124208 in Hep 3B and Huh7 cells. Furthermore, miR-338-3p directly targeted laminin subunit gamma 1 (LAMC1). The malignancy of Hep 3B and Huh7 cell was decreased by LAMC1 knockdown, and this effect was mitigated by miR-338-3p suppression. Overall, circ_0124208 was demonstrated for the first time to play a crucial role as an oncogene in HCC, implying that it could be a useful biomarker for HCC diagnosis. Furthermore, the circ_0124208/miR-338-3p/LAMC1 axis can be used as a potential therapeutic target for HCC treatment.
