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) are covalently closed noncoding RNA molecules that play multiple roles in tumorigenesis and metastasis. Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent, regulated form of cell death and has emerged as a promising target for cancer treatment. However, whether and how circRNAs regulate ferroptotic cell death in colorectal cancer (CRC) remains largely unknown. Three circRNA microarrays were used to screen differentially expressed circRNAs in CRC tissues. A series of functional experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of circRNA on CRC cell proliferation, migration and ferroptosis. We found that hsa_circ_0058495 (circRHBDD1), a novel circRNA, was significantly upregulated in colorectal cancer tissues and cells. The expression levels of circRHBDD1 in serum samples were strongly associated with the advancement of CRC. Silencing of circRHBDD1 remarkably suppressed the proliferation and migration of CRC cells in vitro. Moreover, the depletion of circRHBDD1 notably increased ferroptotic cell death and enhanced RSL3-induced ferroptosis in CRC cells. Mechanistically, circRHBDD1 upregulated the expression of stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD), a ferroptosis suppressor mediating lipid remodelling, by enhancing the ELAVL1/SCD mRNA interaction. Finally, circRHBDD1 knockdown repressed the tumorigenesis and ferroptosis of CRC cells in vivo. In conclusion, circRHBDD1 facilitates tumour progression and obstructs ferroptosis in CRC by regulating SCD expression in an ELAVL1-dependent manner.
