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

Plant-derived small RNAs (sRNAs) have garnered significant attention in nucleic acid therapeutics, driven by their distinctive cross-kingdom regulatory capabilities and extensive therapeutic promise. These sRNAs exhibit a wide range of pharmacological effects, including pulmonary protection, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and antitumor activities, underscoring their substantial potential for clinical translation. A key advantage lies in their delivery, facilitated by plant-specific nanovesicular carriers-such as plant exosomes, herbal decoctosomes, and bencaosomes-which protect sRNAs from gastrointestinal degradation and enable precise, tissue-specific targeting. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of plant-derived sRNAs, detailing their classification, gene-silencing mechanisms, and nanovesicle-mediated cross-kingdom delivery strategies. It further explores their therapeutic potential and underlying molecular mechanisms in major human diseases. Additionally, we critically evaluate current technical challenges and propose future directions to advance the development of plant-derived sRNAs for precision therapeutics. This work aims to offer a robust theoretical framework and practical guidance for the clinical advancement of plant-derived sRNA-based therapies.
