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

backgroundMounting evidence implicates circular RNAs (circRNAs) in various biological processes during cancer progression. Gastric cancer is a main cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Herein, we aimed at investigating whether circ_002117 mediates gastric cancer progression through endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress.

methodsBioinformatics analysis detected differentially expressed circRNAs and their target miRNA candidates, and RT-qPCR was performed to detect expression of circ_002117, microRNA (miRNA)-370 and HERPUD1 in gastric cancer tissues and cells. Gastric cancer cells were transfected with plasmids and their proliferative ability and apoptosis were detected with gain- and loss-of-function assay. The ER of treated cells was observed under a transmission electron microscope. Dual-luciferase reporter gene assay and RIP were performed to detect the interaction between HEPRUD1, miR-370 and circ_002117-treated cells were injected into mice to establish xenograft tumor model.

resultsCirc_002117 and HEPRUD1 were poorly expressed whereas miR-370 was highly expressed in clinical cancer tissues and cells. Circ_002117 was indicated to target and suppress miR-370 expression, while HERPUD1 was directly targeted by miR-370. Circ_002117 overexpression or miR-370 deficiency promoted ER stress-induced apoptosis and decreased proliferation of gastric cancer cells, which was reversed by silencing of HEPRUD1. Circ_002117 overexpression or miR-370 depletion significantly suppressed gastric cancer tumorigenesis in vivo

conclusionsTaken altogether, circ_002117 facilitated ER stress-induced apoptosis in gastric cancer by upregulating HERPUD1 through miR-370 inhibition.
