A novel circular RNA, circMAML3, promotes tumor progression of prostate cancer by regulating miR-665/MAPK8IP2 axis.

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
Many studies have now demonstrated that circRNAs are aberrantly expressed in cancer and are involved in the regulation of malignant tumor progression. However, the role of circMAML3 (hsa_circ_0125392) in prostate cancer has not been reported. circMAML3 was selected from public data through screening. The circMAML3 circular characterization was performed using Sanger sequencing, agarose gel electrophoresis assay, RNase R assay and actinomycin D assay. The expression of circMAML3 in prostate cancer tissues and cells was detected by qRT-PCR. In vivo and in vitro experiments were conducted to investigate the biological functions of circMAML3 in prostate cancer. Finally, the underlying mechanism of circMAML3 was revealed by qRT-PCR, luciferase reporter assay, miRNA Pulldown, RNA immunoprecipitation, western blotting, and rescue assay. Compared to normal prostate tissue and prostate epithelial cells, circMAML3 is highly expressed in prostate cancer tissues and cell lines. CircMAML3 overexpression promotes prostate cancer proliferation and metastasis, while knockdown of circMAML3 exerts the opposite effect. Mechanistically, circMAML3 promotes prostate cancer progression by upregulating MAPK8IP2 expression through sponge miR-665. Our research indicates that circMAML3 promotes prostate cancer progression through the circMAML3/miR-665/MAPK8IP2 axis. circMAML3 and MAPK8IP2 are upregulated in prostate cancer expression and play an oncogenic role, whereas miR-665 is downregulated in prostate cancer and plays an oncogenic role. Therefore, CircMAML3 may be a potential biomarker for prostate cancer diagnosis, treatment and prognosis.
