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 robust biomarkers for diagnosing and prognosing gynecological diseases due to their disease-specific expression and remarkable stability in body fluids. Despite the inherent instability of RNA molecules, circulating miRNAs remain well protected through encapsulation in extracellular vesicles (EVs) or binding to RNA-binding proteins and lipoproteins, enabling reliable clinical detection. This review summarizes circulating miRNAs' biogenesis and clinical relevance, emphasizing their roles in both malignant (e.g., ovarian and endometrial cancers) and benign (e.g., endometriosis and preeclampsia) conditions. Several electrochemical, fluorescent, and colorimetric biosensing platforms have been developed for sensitive and specific miRNA detection. However, most research focuses on cancer-associated miRNAs, leaving those linked to non-malignant diseases largely overlooked. To bridge this gap, this review highlights the need for broader exploration of underrepresented miRNAs and the development of multiplexed biosensing strategies to enhance diagnostic precision. Integrating advanced detection technologies with comprehensive biomarker discovery could significantly improve diagnostic accuracy, expand clinical applications, and accelerate the adoption of miRNA biosensors in point-of-care testing (POCT).
