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

introductionColorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most common and fatal cancer in China. circRNAs are different expressed between tumor and non-tumor tissues, and they are proved to be correlated with tumorigenesis and cancer progression.

objectiveWe aimed to explore the biological and molecular function of hsa_circ_0005939 in CRC.

methodsWe collected and compared ten CRC tissues and four noncancerous tissues and performed circRNA sequencing. We investigated the hsa_circ_0005939 expression in fresh tissues from CRC and adjacent tissues by qPCR. Meanwhile, functional roles of hsa_circ_0005939 in CRC cells were explored by CCK-8, colony formation, wounding healing, cell apoptosis and western blot assays. RNA-FISH was used to confirm the cellular distribution of hsa_circ_0005939. Bioinformatic prediction and luciferase reporter assay were used to determine the mechanisms of hsa_circ_0005939.

resultsOur results indicated that hsa_circ_0005939 was up-regulated in CRC tissues and cells. Up-regulation of hsa_circ_0005939 was associated with the occurrence and the number of lymph node metastasis of CRC. Hsa_circ_0005939 down-regulation inhibited cell proliferation, increased cell apoptosis and caused G2 phase arrest of CRC cells. Mechanistically, luciferase assay revealed that hsa_circ_0005939 acts as a molecular sponge for miR-4693-3p and then enhanced Ubiquitin Like With PHD And Ring Finger Domains 1 binding protein 1 like (UHRF1BP1L) expression.

conclusionOur findings indicated an oncogenic role of hsa_circ_0005939 in CRC, and it enhanced malignant phenotypes of CRC cells through miR-4693-3p/UHRF1BP1L axis. Our study may offer promising biomarkers and therapeutic targets for CRC.
