Circ_0023990 Promotes the Proliferation, Invasion, and Glycolysis of Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Cells Via Targeting miR-6884-5p/PAK1 Axis.
Article in Biochemical genetics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Circular RNAs are emerging players in human cancers, including esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Herein, we assessed the expression level of circ_0023990 and explored the molecular mechanisms of circ_0023990 in ESCC. circ_0023990, miR-6884-5p, and PAK1 expressions in ESCC tissues and cells were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blot. ESCC cells were transfected with different constructs to alter the expression of circ_0023990, miR-6884-5p, and PAK1. The effect of circ_0023990 on the proliferation, invasion, and glycolysis of ESCC cells was observed. The interaction between circ_0023990 and miR-6884-5p and between miR-6884-5p and PAK1 were explored. A mouse model of ESCC was established to study the in vivo effect of circ_0023990 knockdown on tumor formation.The expression levels of circ_0023990 was upregulated in ESCC tissues and cells. Inhibiting circ_0023990 suppressed the proliferation, invasion, and glycolysis of ESCC cells. circ_0023990 might target miR-6884-5p and consequently modulate the expression and activity of PAK1. Knockdown of circ_0023990 led to significantly reduced tumor volume and weight in mice with ESCC.These findings overall suggest an oncogenic role of circ_0023990 in ESCC. Future research is warranted to confirm the expression pattern and clinical significance of circ_0023990 in ESCC.
