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

backgroundWith the advancements in bioinformatic technology, an increasing number of circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been discovered and their crucial roles in the development and progression of various malignancies have been confirmed through multiple pathways. However, the specific mechanisms involving protein-binding circRNAs in colorectal cancer (CRC) remain largely unexplored.

methodsDifferential circRNA expression was assessed using a human circRNA microarray in five CRC tissue and paired normal samples. CircGPRC5A expression was then confirmed in the CRC tissues and paired normal samples using qRT-PCR. The biological function of circGPRC5A in CRC were studied in vitro and in vivo. Western blotting, fluorescence in situ hybridization, immunofluorescence, RNA pulldown, mass spectrometry, immunoprecipitation, quantitative phosphoproteomics, and RNA-binding protein immunoprecipitation assays were used to study circGPRC5A.

resultsOur analysis revealed that circGPRC5A expression was higher in CRC tissues compared to normal tissues and was associated with tumor size, tumor stage and lymph node status. CircGPRC5A promoted CRC cell proliferation, migration, and metastasis in vitro and in vivo. CircGPRC5A could stabilize PPP1CA protein by inhibiting the binding between UBA1 and PPP1CA, and increasing YAP dephosphorylation.

conclusionsOur study revealed that circGPRC5A plays an essential function in CRC progression by stabilizing PPP1CA protein and enhancing YAP dephosphorylation. CircGPRC5A could act as a novel and potential target for CRC.
