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

backgroundDue to the lack of effective treatment, metastasis is the main cause of cancer related deaths. TGF-β pathway has been reported related to cervical cancer metastasis. However, mechanism is still unclear.

methodsAfter agonist of TGF-β treatment, RNA sequencing revealed the expression profiles of circRNA in cervical cancer. In situ hybridization was used to analysis relationship between CDR1as and prognosis. Real-time PCR, Western blot, RNA interference, Transwell assay, Wound healing assay, RNA pulldown assay and RIP assays were performed in vitro. And in vivo cervical cancer model (including foot pad model and subcutaneous tumor formation) was also performed.

resultsCDR1as was found upregulated obviously following TGF-β activation. In situ hybridization showed CDR1as was positively correlated with lymph node metastasis and shortened survival length. Simultaneously, overexpression of CDR1as promoted cervical cancer metastasis in vitro and in vivo. It was also found that CDR1as could facilitate the orchestration of IGF2BP1 on the mRNA of SLUG and stabilize it from degradation. Silencing IGF2BP1 hampers CDR1as related metastasis in cervical cancer. Additionally, effective CDR1as has been proven to activate TGF-β signaling factors known to promote EMT, including P-Smad2 and P-Smad3.

conclusionsOur study proved TGF-β signaling may promote cervical cancer metastasis via CDR1as.
