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

backgroundOsteosarcoma (OS) is the most common non-hematogenous primary malignancy in the bone. Due to several origins of OS, 30-40% OS patients would experience recurrence and metastasis, with a 5-year survival rate of 20-30%. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) transform into OS cells during the differentiation into osteoblasts, and circular RNA (circRNA) hsa_circ_0003611 might contribute to the differentiation of MSCs into osteoblasts. However, the role of hsa_circ_0003611 in the transformation of MSCs into OS cells is largely unknown. This study aims to investigate whether hsa_circ_0003611 tunes the transformation of MSCs into OS cells.

methodsHere, human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) with hsa_circ_0003611 stably silenced was constructed. Moreover, protein-RNA interaction was detected by RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP), and N

resultsThe present study reveals that hsa_circ_0003611 level is almost absent in OS cells compared to that in osteoblasts and MSCs. Moreover, hsa_circ_0003611 silence enhances the transformation of MSCs into OS cells in vitro and triggered tumorigenicity of MSCs for OS in vivo. Mechanistically, silence of hsa_circ_0003611 promotes the transformation of MSCs into OS cells by activating MYC proto-oncogene, bHLH transcription factor (MYC) via insulin like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 3 (IGF2BP3). Moreover, hsa_circ_0003611 silence improves MYC mRNA stability by facilitating the association between IGF2BP3 and MYC mRNA in MSCs. Furthermore, m

conclusionIn summary, these findings highlight the role of hsa_circ_0003611 in the transformation of MSCs into OS cells and provide novel targets and strategies for OS treatment.
