Circadian rhythms and non-coding RNAs: mechanistic insights, clinical impact, and future opportunities for personalized medicine.
Review in Cancer cell international, 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
Circadian rhythms are intrinsic 24-hour cycles that regulate diverse physiological processes, including sleep-wake cycles, metabolism, immune function, and hormone secretion. The molecular clockwork is made up of regulatory feedback loops and core clock genes governs these cycles. These rhythms confer adaptive advantages by enabling organisms to anticipate predictable environmental cycles such as light-dark transitions, nutrient availability, and temperature fluctuations, thereby optimizing energy utilization and survival. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), such as microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs), have become important regulators of circadian rhythms on several levels as they alter clock gene transcription. This review provides a comprehensive overview of ncRNAs in circadian regulation, highlighting specific miRNAs that modulate clock genes, as well as lncRNAs that act as scaffolds, sponges, or transcriptional regulators to fine-tune circadian oscillations. Circadian misalignment caused by genetic, environmental, or lifestyle factors disrupts ncRNA expression and has been linked to cancer, cardiovascular disorders, autoimmune conditions, gastrointestinal dysfunction, neurological and psychiatric diseases, and respiratory illnesses. The clinical potential of circulating miRNAs as biomarkers for circadian disruption and the therapeutic approaches targeting ncRNAs to restore circadian balance were discussed, alongside emerging strategies in precision medicine to incorporate interindividual variability into treatment design. Finally, the present review outlined the current challenges and future perspectives to allow better understanding of the ncRNA-circadian interactions, to translate findings into clinical intervention, and to underscore the importance of ncRNAs as both regulators and therapeutic targets in circadian biology and human disease.
