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

backgroundSalmonella typhimurium (S. typhimurium) is one of the typical intestinal pathogens leading to gastrointestinal diseases. Circular RNA (circRNA) is a covalently closed-loop RNA molecule that lacks 3' and 5' ends, and it plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis and progression of human diseases. However, whether host circRNAs expression could be regulated by S. typhimurium infection during tumorigenesis and development is still not clear. This study aim is to explore the therapeutic potential and underlying mechanisms of altered circular RNAs expression in S. typhimurium infection in colorectal cancer (CRC).

resultsTranscriptomic analysis revealed numerous cellular circRNAs that were significantly regulated by S. typhimurium in the colorectal cancer cell line HCT116. Notably, circHIPK2 exhibited the most pronounced downregulation among them. Knockdown of circHIPK2 inhibited cell motility, tumor growth and epithelial cell cytokine expression like IL8, IL6 and GM-CSF induced by SL1344. The interaction between circHIPK2 with miR-124-3p was confirmed through RNA molecular binding experiment. Furthermore, overexpressed miR-124-3p abrogated cell motility induced by circHIPK2.

conclusionThe S. typhimurium-regulated circHIPK2/miR-124-3p axis is pivotal in CRC pathogenesis and holds promise as a molecular therapeutic target for treating colitis-associated colorectal cancer.
