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

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as crucial regulators in digestive pathologies, including inflammatory bowel disease (miR-31, miR-155, and miR-21), colorectal cancer (miR-21, miR-598, and miR-494), and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (miR-21, miR-192, and miR-122). Their capacity to modulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level makes them highly promising candidates for biomarkers and therapeutic interventions. However, despite considerable progress, their clinical application remains challenging. Research has shown that miRNA expression is highly dynamic, varying across patients, disease stages, and different intestinal regions. Their dual function as both oncogenes and tumor suppressors further complicates their therapeutic use, as targeting miRNAs may yield unpredictable effects. Additionally, while miRNA-based therapies hold great potential, significant hurdles persist, including off-target effects, immune activation, and inefficiencies in delivery methods. The intricate interplay between miRNAs and gut microbiota adds another layer of complexity, influencing disease mechanisms and treatment responses. This review examined the role of miRNAs in digestive pathologies, emphasizing their diagnostic and therapeutic potential. While they offer new avenues for disease management, unresolved challenges underscore the need for further research to refine their clinical application.
