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

Cervical cancer is a malignant tumor that severely threatens female health. Recently, more and more studies indicated that circRNA could function as a tumor activator or suppressor in cervical cell development. Therefore, we aimed to study the effect of circRNA CDK6 (circCDK6) on the development and biological behavior of cervical cancer. We used quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) to examine the circCDK6 expression level in cervical cancer cell lines. RNA-fluorescence in situ hybridization confirmed the location of circCDK6 and miR-449a in HeLa and CaSki cells, respectively. Then, the biological function of silencing circCDK6 in cellular proliferation, metastasis, and Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT)-related process was determined. We also performed RNA Binding Protein Immunoprecipitation (RIP) and Dual-luciferase reporter assay to determine the relationship between the circCDK6 and miR-449a. Finally, the results showed that circCDK6 level remarkably increased in several cervical cancer cells, especially in Hela and CaSki cells. The miR-449a was further confirmed to be a potential target of circCDK6, and its expression increased by silencing circCDK6. The circCDK6 participated in tumorigenesis and cancer progression and might serve as a tumor suppressive factor in cervical cell progression via Epithelial-MesenchymalTransition (EMT) process by regulating miR-449a.
