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

backgroundHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most intractable tumors in the world due to its high rate of recurrence and heterogeneity.

aimsThe objective of this study was to investigate the role of circular RNA 0102231 (hsa_circ_ 0102231) in the progression of liver cancer.

methodsIn this study, quantitative polymerase chain reaction experiments were performed to quantify the hsa_circ_0102231 level in different liver cancer cell lines. Bioinformatics analysis, as well as a dual-luciferase reporter and RNA pull-down assay, were used to identify putative hsa_circ_ 0102231 downstream targets. Colony formation and CCK8 assays were utilized to examine cell proliferation, whereas Transwell assays were employed to monitor cell migration. Lastly, the role of hsa_circ_0102231 in liver cancer was assessed in a subcutaneous xenograft model.

resultsThe expression of hsa_circ_0102231 increased significantly in HepG2 and Huh-7 cells compared with controls, and hsa_circ_0102231 knockdown inhibited cell proliferation and migration

conclusionThese results show that hsa_circ_0102231 knockdown impedes the progression of liver cancer by regulating the miR-873/SOX4 axis. However, further studies are needed to determine whether hsa_circ_0102231 may be a therapeutic target in liver cancer.
