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

Cancer immunotherapy has transformed oncology, but lasting responses are still limited due to resistance mechanisms within the tumor microenvironment. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as critical regulators of immune checkpoint pathways, antigen presentation, T-cell activity, and macrophage polarization. By modulating both tumor-intrinsic and immune cell-intrinsic processes, miRNAs influence the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors, therapeutic vaccines, and adoptive cell therapies. Additionally, circulating and exosomal miRNAs are being investigated as minimally invasive biomarkers to predict patient response and resistance to immunotherapy. Clinical trials of miRNA-based treatments, including mimics and inhibitors, have highlighted both the promise and challenges of translating these molecules into clinical use. Advances in delivery systems, RNA chemistry, and combinatorial strategies are paving the way for their integration into precision immuno-oncology. This review offers a comprehensive overview of the mechanistic, biomarker, and therapeutic roles of miRNAs in cancer immunotherapy, highlighting ongoing clinical progress and prospects.
