The hidden regulators: Non-coding RNAs in KMT2A-rearranged acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Review in International journal of cancer, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) driven by KMT2A rearrangements (KMT2A-r) is an aggressive hematologic malignancy with poor prognosis and a high incidence in infants. While KMT2A fusion proteins drive leukemogenesis through transcriptional dysregulation, recent discoveries have highlighted the pivotal role of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in shaping the molecular and epigenetic landscape of this disease. These key regulators of gene expression influence chromatin dynamics, transcriptional activation, and post-transcriptional control. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) contribute to genome instability and facilitate chromosomal translocations, while some fusion-derived circRNAs (f-circRNAs) sustain oncogenic signaling and promote chemoresistance. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) orchestrate transcriptional programs that maintain leukemic stem cell properties and reinforce aberrant self-renewal pathways. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) modulate critical oncogenic networks by regulating KMT2A fusion transcripts and downstream effectors, thereby impacting drug resistance, apoptosis, and proliferation. Meanwhile, enhancer RNAs (eRNAs) fine-tune transcriptional activity and epigenetic regulation, influencing KMT2A target gene expression and chromatin accessibility. Collectively, these ncRNAs integrate into the complex regulatory circuits of KMT2A-r ALL, revealing their potential as biomarkers for disease classification, risk stratification, and treatment response prediction. Understanding their interplay with KMT2A fusion proteins not only provides new insights into leukemogenesis but also highlights promising opportunities for therapeutic intervention and precision medicine in this high-risk leukemia subtype.
