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

Breast cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, with treatment resistance and tumor heterogeneity posing major clinical challenges. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), small non-coding RNAs regulating gene expression, have emerged as key players in breast cancer biology, influencing tumor initiation, progression, and therapy resistance. This narrative review synthesizes recent evidence on the involvement of miRNAs in breast cancer subtypes and their impact on treatment response. Notably, miR-155, miR-503, and miR-21 have shown potential as non-invasive biomarkers and modulators of pathways such as PI3K-Akt, MAPK, and TNF signaling. Additionally, exosomal miRNAs may reflect chemoresistance profiles and predict pathological response to neoadjuvant therapy. Emerging data also support the use of specific miRNAs to sensitize tumors to radiotherapy or modulate immune checkpoints like PD-L1 in triple-negative breast cancer. However, challenges persist regarding standardization, sample types, and study heterogeneity. Further translational research is needed to validate miRNA signatures and their utility in guiding personalized treatment. By highlighting mechanistic insights and potential clinical applications, this review aims to contribute to the ongoing efforts of integrating miRNAs into precision oncology for breast cancer.
