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 morbidity and mortality worldwide, with survival outcomes strongly dependent on early detection. Conventional mammography, while widely adopted, faces limitations in sensitivity-particularly in dense breast tissue-and is not without invasiveness. Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs), both exosomal and non-exosomal, have emerged as promising non-invasive biomarkers due to their stability in biofluids and cancer-associated dysregulation. This systematic review evaluated studies published between 2016 and 2025 assessing the diagnostic performance of blood-derived miRNAs for early breast cancer detection. Several individual miRNAs, including miR-21-5p and miR-200c, as well as panels such as those comprising miR-106a-3p, miR-106a-5p, miR-20b-5p, and miR-92a-2-5p, demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy (Area Under the Curve (AUC) > 0.9) in distinguishing breast cancer patients from healthy controls. Despite challenges related to tumor heterogeneity and pre-analytical standardization, integrating circulating miRNA biomarkers with current imaging modalities holds significant potential to enhance early detection and support personalized management strategies.
