circSMAD2 expression was related to TNM stage.
circSMAD2 was selected from RNA-seq data as an upregulated circRNA and was validated by qRT-PCR as significantly higher in HCC tissues than paired adjacent non-tumorous liver tissues. Its expression was associated with TNM stage, but the study did not perform circSMAD2-specific functional or mechanistic assays.
