CircTENM3 inhibites tumor progression via the miR-558/RUNX3 axis in prostate cancer.
Article in Journal of translational medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundProstate cancer (PCa) is currently acknowledged as the second most widespread cancer among men worldwide. Yet, the lack of dependable diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets has presented considerable hurdles to the progression of prostate cancer treatment. Circular RNAs are implicated in the pathogenesis of numerous diseases, positioning them as promising biomarkers for diverse medical conditions. This study aims to uncover a specific circRNA that could serve as a diagnostic and therapeutic target for detecting and treating PCa.
methodsThe change of circTENM3 expression levels in PCa was detected by qPCR. CCK8 assays, EdU assays, Scratch assay and Transwell migration assay conducted to detect the role of circTENM3 in PCa cells in vitro. RIP assay, RNA-pull down and luciferase reporter assay were performed to explore the mechanism of circTENM3. Gain-of-function analysis was performed to reveal the function of circTENM3 in PCa in vivo.
resultsThe results revealed that the expression level of circTENM3 was significantly down-regulated in PCa. CircTENM3 overexpression alleviated the progression of PCa in vitro. Mechanistically, circTENM3 enhanced RUNX3 levels via miR-558 sponge. Gain-of-function analysis determined that circTENM3 overexpression could inhibit PCa progression in vitro.
conclusionsOur research offers profound insights into the protective role played by circTENM3 in PCa. CircTENM3 operates as a sponge for miR-558, thereby triggering the elevation of RUNX3 expression, which subsequently curbs the progression of PCa.
