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

backgroundCircular RNA (circRNA) plays an important regulatory role in the development of human malignancies, but the potential mechanisms of circRNA in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remain largely unknown.

methodsMicroarray analysis was used to test for circRNAs differing in expression between NSCLC tumors and healthy adjacent tissues. Using qRT-PCR, the expression of circZNF707 was determined. Through a number of loss-of-function and gain-of-function investigations, the biological behavior of NSCLC cells was evaluated. Finally, tests using Western blotting, RIP, qRT-PCR, and luciferase reporter gene detection and rescue assays revealed the potential mechanism of circZNF707.

resultsIncreased expression of circZNF707 was found in NSCLC tissues. Functionally, circZNF707 enhances proliferation, migration, invasion, and glycolysis of NSCLC cells. Mechanistically, circZNF707 can upregulate PFKM by acting as a sponge for miR-668-3p, thus contributing to the progression of NSCLC.

conclusionsThrough the circZNF707/miR-668-3p/PFKM axis, upregulation of circZNF707 promotes tumor development. CircZNF707 may provide new insights into the treatment and diagnosis of NSCLC.
