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

backgroundSevoflurane (Sev) is a commonly used volatile anesthetic that might suppress the process of breast cancer. Also, circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been reported to partake in the pathogenesis of breast cancer. Accordingly, this research was designed to investigate the mechanism of hsa_circ_0005962 on Sev-mediated breast cancer development.

methodsSev was applied to treat breast cancer cells. Cell proliferation ability, migration, invasion, and apoptosis were detected using Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU), Transwell, and flow cytometry assay. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), Matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP9), B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2)-associated X protein (Bax), and Epithelial stromal interaction 1 (EPSTI1) were assessed using western blot assay. circ_0000129, microRNA-578 (miR-578), and EPSTI1 levels were determined using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Using bioinformatics software (Circinteractome and Targetscan), the binding between miR-578 and circ_0000129 or EPSTI1 were predicted, and proved using dual-luciferase reporter and RNA pull-down assay. The biological roles of circ_0000129 and Sevoflurane on tumor growth were analyzed using a xenograft tumor model in vivo.

resultsSevoflurane blocked tumor cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and promoted apoptosis. Circ_0000129 and EPSTI1 expression were increased, and miR-578 was decreased in breast cancer cells. Also, they presented an opposite trend in Sev-treated tumor cells. Circ_0000129 upregulation might abolish Sev-mediated tumor progression in vitro. Mechanically, circ_0000129 can affect EPSTI1 expression by sponging miR-578. Sev might inhibit tumor growth by regulating circ_0000129 in vivo.

conclusionCirc_0000129 relieved Sev-triggered suppression impacts on breast cancer development partly via the miR-578/EPSTI1 axis, which provides a new mechanism for studying mediated therapy of breast cancer treatment.
