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

backgroundHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a prominent cause of cancer-related mortality globally. It is urgently necessary to elucidate the pathogenesis of HCC and develop novel therapeutic strategies. Although certain circular RNAs (circRNAs) act as oncogenic drivers in HCC progression, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood.

methodsCircRNA-miRNA-mRNA network was established to screen potential circRNAs that were associated with HCC progression. CCK8, colony formation, EdU staining, wound healing, transwell assay and xenograft models were implemented to investigate the role of circRPPH1 in HCC progression. RNA-seq, luciferase reporter assays, Turbo-ID, mass spectrometry, co-immunoprecipitation and RNA-binding protein immunoprecipitation assays and rescue experiments were employed to determine the underlying molecular mechanism.

resultsCircRPPH1 was significantly upregulated in HCC tissues and it promoted HCC progression both in vitro and in vivo. The elevated circRPPH1 expression in HCC was due to its increased stability, which was mediated by m

conclusionsCircRPPH1 is a tumor-promoting circRNA, which inhibits PPARα transcription through miR-7845-5p/SOX4 axis and accelerates its ubiquitination and degradation through competitively binding with USP1. These findings suggest that circRPPH1 may serve as a promising therapeutic target for HCC treatment.
