A peptide encoded by the circular form of the SHPRH gene induces apoptosis in neuroblastoma cells.
Article in PeerJ, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Background: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) and their derived peptides represent largely unchartered areas in cellular biology, with many potential roles yet to be discovered. This study aimed to elucidate the role and molecular interactions of circSHPRH and its peptide derivative SHPRH-146aa in the pathogenesis of neuroblastoma (NB). Methods: NB samples in the GSE102285 dataset were analyzed to measure circSHPRH expression, followed by Results: The GSE102285 dataset indicated overexpression of circSHPRH in NB samples, further supported by Conclusion: The study demonstrates that circ-SHPRH and SHPRH-146aa play significant roles in inhibiting the malignant progression of NB. They induce apoptosis primarily by modulating key apoptotic proteins Caspase-3 and Bcl-2, a process that appears to be regulated by NFKBIA. The SHPRH-146aa-RUNX1 interaction further elucidates a novel pathway in the regulation of apoptosis in NB. These findings indicate that circ-SHPRH and its derived peptide SHPRH-146aa could be potential therapeutic targets for NB treatment.
