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

To investigate the expression characteristics, functional roles, and regulatory mechanisms of circPSMA4 via miR-767-3p/HIF1A in bladder cancer. The expression and in vitro functionality of circPSMA4 in T24 bladder cancer cell lines were analyzed using RNase R treatment, actinomycin D stability assay, nucleocytoplasmic separation, real-time quantitative PCR, Western blot, dual-luciferase reporter assay, cellular energy metabolism analysis, scratch assay, Transwell migration and invasion assay, CCK-8 proliferation assay, lactate and glucose uptake detection, and ATP production measurement. Further, the in vivo roles of circPSMA4 were validated through the construction of stable cell lines and tumor xenograft assays in nude mice. CircPSMA4 was identified as a circular RNA highly expressed in bladder cancer cells, directly interacting with miR-767-3p. CircPSMA4 functions as a miR-767-3p sponge, regulating miR-767-3p to influence the expression of HIF1A, thereby promoting the proliferation, migration, invasion, and metabolic activities of bladder cancer cells, as well as tumor formation. CircPSMA4 facilitates the proliferation, migration, invasion, and metabolism of bladder cancer cells through the miR-767-3p/HIF1A pathway.
