CircTEC Inhibits the Follicular Atresia in Buffalo (
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 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
The specific expression profile and function of circular RNA (circRNA) in follicular atresia remain largely unknown. Here, the circRNA expression profiles of granulosa cells derived from healthy follicles (HFs) and antral follicles (AFs) in buffalo were analyzed by RNA-seq, and the mechanism of a differentially expressed circRNA (DEcircRNA) circTEC regulating the granulosa cell function that affects follicular atresia was further explored. RNA-seq results showed that a total of 112 DEcircRNAs were identified. Among them, circTEC was highly expressed in HF, and its circular structure was confirmed by RNase R digestion assay, reversed PCR and Sanger sequencing. Functional experiments demonstrated that circTEC promotes the proliferation and steroid hormone synthesis of buffalo granulosa cells (bGCs), and it also inhibits their apoptosis. In-depth mechanism analysis showed that the expression level of circTEC in bGCs from AFs was adversely related to miR-144-5p and consistent with FZD3. CircTEC acts as an endogenous sponge of miR-144-5p to regulate the expression of the target gene FZD3 in AFs, which promotes the proliferation of bGCs and inhibits bGCs apoptosis, thereby inhibiting follicular atresia in buffalo. In summary, our study revealed the regulatory role of the circTEC/miR-144-5p/FZD3 axis during follicular atresia in buffalo. These results provided new insights into the biological mechanism underlying follicular atresia.
