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

Circular RNA (circRNA) plays a pivotal role in breast cancer onset and progression. Understanding the biological functions and underlying molecular mechanisms of dysregulated circRNAs in breast cancer is crucial for elucidating its pathogenesis and identifying potential therapeutic targets. In this study, we investigated the role and molecular mechanism of circGSK3β in breast cancer. We found that circGSK3β is highly expressed in breast cancer cell lines, where it promotes cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, thereby driving breast cancer progression. Furthermore, we observed a close association between circGSK3β expression levels and immune evasion in breast cancer cells. Mechanistically, circGSK3β acts as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) by interacting with miR-338-3p, thereby promoting breast cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Additionally, circGSK3β positively regulates the expression of the target gene PRMT5 through its interaction with miR-338-3p. This, in turn, enhances H3K4me3 recruitment to the promoter region of PD-L1, resulting in upregulation of PD-L1 expression and consequent immune evasion in breast cancer. In summary, our findings underscore the significance of the circGSK3β-miR-338-3p-PRMT5-H3K4me3 axis in promoting breast cancer progression and immune evasion. CircGSK3β emerges as a critical player in breast cancer pathogenesis, potentially serving as a diagnostic and prognostic marker, and offering novel insights into the role of circRNAs in breast cancer progression.
