Therapeutic microRNAs: Mechanisms, Delivery, and Clinical Translation in Oncology.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are ~19-25-nt post-transcriptional regulators whose dysregulation promotes hallmark cancer traits and therapy resistance. This review synthesizes translational principles for developing miRNA therapeutics in oncology, integrating miRNA biology and target engagement with delivery design and clinical experience. We summarize key determinants that shape efficacy and safety, including sequence and chemistry choices, biodistribution and intracellular delivery, dosing strategy, and biomarker-informed patient selection. We compare the main therapeutic modalities, miRNA mimics and inhibitors, and evaluate leading delivery approaches relevant to cancer, including lipid-based systems, polymer-based carriers and conjugates, and extracellular vesicle-inspired platforms, highlighting trade-offs in stability, specificity, immune activation, and tumor exposure. Early clinical programs such as MRX34, TargomiR/MesomiR-1, and cobomarsen, together with experience from non-oncology indications, illustrate both opportunities and practical constraints on tolerability and regimen optimization. We conclude with pragmatic priorities for the field, including standardized analytics for isoforms and target engagement, PK/PD- and biomarker-guided dose selection, and rational combination strategies to safely integrate miRNA-based interventions into precision oncology.
