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
backgroundNeutrophils, serving as crucial innate immune cells, exert anti-tumor effects through cytotoxic mediators, antibody-dependent responses, and coordination of immune networks. They also release exosomes that carry bioactive molecules such as microRNAs (miRNAs). Our previous work identified neutrophil-derived exosomes (N-Exo) as contributors to their anti-tumor activity, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.
methodsFunctional experiments integrating high-throughput sequencing and validation assays were performed to screen and identify key anti-tumor miRNAs in N-Exo. An in vivo subcutaneous xenograft mouse tumor model assessed the therapeutic effects of N-Exo-delivered miR-101-3p on tumor growth. Bioinformatics analysis combined with experimental validation, including dual-luciferase reporter assays, co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP), and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), elucidated the mechanism by which the key miRNA suppresses tumorigenesis through targeting specific genes and signaling pathways. Recombinant interleukin-36 gamma (rmIL-36γ) was used to stimulate neutrophils, and functional assays were performed to evaluate its effect.
resultsHsa-miR-101-3p was enriched in N-Exo. N-Exo-delivered miR-101-3p directly targets MCL1 to suppress its expression and indirectly inhibits MCL1 transcription via regulation of the EZH2/c-Myc axis, collectively promoting apoptosis in gastric cancer (GC) cells. Furthermore, rmIL-36γ priming upregulated miR-101-3p expression in neutrophils and enhanced their anti-tumor effects.
conclusionWe demonstrate that N-Exo exerts tumor-suppressive effects by delivering miR-101-3p, which dually targets and suppresses MCL1 expression. Moreover, rmIL-36γ treatment enhances both miR-101-3p abundance and anti-tumor efficacy in neutrophils. These findings highlight the N-Exo/miR-101-3p/MCL1 axis as a therapeutic target and support cytokine priming as a strategy to enhance neutrophil-based cancer therapy.
