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) are pivotal post-transcriptional regulators that orchestrate gene expression programs governing cancer initiation, progression, metastasis, and therapeutic resistance. Among their many targets, the WNT signaling pathway, a key driver of malignancy, is tightly controlled by miRNAs, forming intricate feedback loops that shape tumor behavior. Concurrently, flavonoids, naturally occurring plant-derived polyphenols, are emerging as promising anticancer agents that can modulate both WNT signaling and miRNA expression. This review highlights miRNAs as the central regulators of oncogenic signaling, focusing on their dualistic role in cancer biology and their modulation by flavonoids. We explore the mechanistic frameworks underpinning miRNA-WNT interactions and the therapeutic potential of flavonoid-mediated miRNA reprogramming for precision miRNA targeting. Unraveling this regulatory axis offers a promising avenue for developing multi-targeted therapies and personalized cancer treatment strategies.
