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

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) possess important functions in cervical carcinogenesis by operating as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs). Our preliminary bioinformatics predicted the potential circ_0000212/microRNA (miR)-1236-3p/gremlin 1 (GREM1) ceRNA crosstalk. Thus, we further elucidated whether the novel ceRNA crosstalk can participate in cervical cancer development. Circ_0000212, miR-1236-3p and GREM1 were quantified by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and immunoblotting. 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) assay, flow cytometry, and tube formation assay were performed to assess cell proliferation, apoptosis and tube formation, respectively. Transwell assay was used to detect cell migration and invasion. Mouse xenografts were established to evaluate the role of circ_0000212 in vivo. Dual-luciferase reporter assay was performed to verify the direct relationship between miR-1236-3p and circ_0000212 or GREM1. Circ_0000212 expression was elevated in human cervical cancer. Silencing of endogenous circ_0000212 hindered cancer cell proliferation, motility and invasion and induced apoptosis, as well as diminished the tube formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in vitro. Circ_0000212 silencing also weakened tumor growth in vivo. Mechanistically, circ_0000212 directly bound to miR-1236-3p, and downregulation of miR-1236-3p reversed these effects of circ_0000212 silencing on cell malignant phenotypes and HUVEC tube formation. GREM1 was a direct miR-1236-3p target, and its expression was regulated by circ_0000212 through miR-1236-3p. Moreover, miR-1236-3p upregulation impeded cancer cell malignant phenotypes and HUVEC tube formation by targeting GREM1. Our findings identify a novel ceRNA regulatory network, circ_0000212/miR-1236-3p/GREM1 axis, in cervical carcinogenesis, and provide potential targets that can be explored for therapeutic interventions.
