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

Cervical cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths, with cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) accounting for a majority of cases. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been repeatedly suggested as crucial effectors in modulating the development of multiple malignancies. The expression of circ_0002762 was predicted to be high in CSCC tissues in GEO dataset, but the functional role and underlying regulatory mechanism of circ_0002762 in CSCC was unclear. By series of functional assays and mechanism assays, supported by bioinformatics analysis, reverse transcription quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) analysis and western blot assays, we identified that circ_0002762 aberrantly up-regulated in CSCC, promoting CSCC cell migration and invasion. Mechanically, circ_0002762 was transcriptionally activated by Fork head box A1 (FOXA1). Moreover, the involvement of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB) signalling in circ_0002762 regulation mechanism in CSCC cells was ascertained. Additionally, circ_0002762, predominantly accumulated in cell cytoplasm, was proved to recruit Mov10 RISC complex RNA helicase (MOV10) to enhance RelA mRNA stability, thus affecting CSCC cell migration and invasion. In summary, FOXA1-mediated circ_0002762 up-regulation could enhance the migratory and invasive abilities of CSCC cells via the MOV10/RelA/NF-kB pathway.
