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 (hsa_circ_0070354), also known as circPTPN13, was demonstrated in our previous study that it can be used as a biomarker for diagnosing non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the mechanism of its role in the occurrence and development of NSCLC has not been investigated. METHODS AND

resultsThe cell functions of NSCLC cells are evaluated by transfecting with relevant mimics, inhibitors, or plasmids in cell lines. After knocking down hsa_circ_0070354, the expression of miR-4322 increased, and RAB3B decreased, and the expression changed inversely after overexpression of hsa_circ_0070354. Mechanically, hsa_circ_0070354 acts as a ceRNA to adsorb miR-4322 and modulate Ras-Related Protein Rab-3B (RAB3B) to facilitate the proliferation, migration, invasion, and EMT of NSCLC cells. MiR-4322 or RAB3B inhibition restored proliferation, migration, and invasion of NSCLC cells after silencing of hsa_circ_0070354. In addition, hsa_circ_0070354 knockdown suppressed tumor growth in vivo.

conclusionsCollectively, our study reveals a promotive role of hsa_circ_0070354 in tumor proliferation, invasion, and migration by regulating the miR-4322/RAB3B axis and highlights that targeting the axis is a promising strategy for the intervention of NSCLC progression.
