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

N6‑methyladenosine (m6A) RNA modification represents a pivotal and novel post‑transcriptional modification in eukaryotic RNAs. Initially identified in messenger RNAs (mRNAs), m6A modification on these transcripts regulates a spectrum of essential cellular processes, including mRNA splicing, subcellular localization, stability and translation. Recent studies have highlighted the involvement of m6A methylation in both biological and pathological processes, particularly in cancer. Non‑coding RNAs (ncRNAs), a diverse class of RNA molecules that do not encode proteins, encompass microRNAs, long ncRNAs and circular RNAs. Notably, m6A has been recognized as a reversible epigenetic modification within ncRNAs, a discovery that has garnered considerable attention. This modification not only influences the stability of ncRNAs but also endows them with the novel capacity for peptide translation. The differential and specific expression pattern in diseases give these m6A‑modified ncRNAs potential as biomarkers for molecular diagnostics and targeted therapy, and using ncRNA‑encoded peptides as a target for immunotherapy has also been attempted. This review synthesizes the current understanding of m6A modifications in ncRNAs, explores the effects of m6A on ncRNA function and presents the latest insights into the role of ncRNA m6A modifications in disease progression.
