New Axes of Interaction in Circ_0079593/miR-516b-5p Network in Melanoma Metastasis Cell Lines.
Article in Genes, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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/
objectivesmicroRNAs (miRNAs) and circular RNA (circRNAs) show a close interconnection in the control of fundamental functions, such as cell proliferation and tumor development. A full understanding of this complex and interconnected network is essential for better understanding the mechanisms underlying cancer progression. Hsa_circ_0079593 is a circRNA highly expressed in melanoma and is associated with increased metastasis and progression of malignancy, whereas miR516b-5p is a microRNA whose expression is lower in several tumor types, including melanoma; its overexpression inhibits cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. In this study, we tested whether circ_0079593 is involved in the progression of melanoma aggressiveness by regulating CHAF1B and MCAM via the inhibition of miR-516b-5p.
methodsWe first verified the expression of the key components in both healthy melanocyte lines and melanoma metastases, subsequently using in vitro assays such as scratch tests, Western blot, qRT-PCR, and dual luciferase report assay; we verified their interconnected regulatory effect.
resultsOur results showed that circ_0079593-miR516b-5p interactions are involved in the increase in the migration of metastasis melanoma cells by exploiting their binding to MCAM and CHAF1B mRNAs.
conclusionsThis study provides two other regulatory networks in which circ_0079593 may exert its oncogenic function by increasing the speed of movement of metastatic cells through the sponge of miR-516b-5p, which cannot regulate MCAM and CHAF1B expression.
