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

RNA modifications have emerged as an important regulatory layer that influences gene expression beyond conventional genetic and epigenetic mechanisms. Among the various epitranscriptomic modifications, N6-methyladenosine (m6A), 5-methylcytosine (m5C), and pseudouridine (Ψ) have been extensively investigated for their roles in RNA stability, splicing, translation, immune regulation, and metabolic homeostasis. Increasing evidence suggests that dysregulation of these modifications contributes to cancer progression, immune evasion, therapeutic resistance, and metabolic disorders, suggesting their potential as therapeutic targets. This review summarizes recent advances in endogenous epitranscriptomic RNA modifications and discusses their relevance in cancer immunotherapy and metabolic diseases. In addition, emerging therapeutic approaches targeting RNA-modifying enzymes, including writers, erasers, and readers, are discussed along with the development of antisense oligonucleotides, RNA-based therapeutics, and delivery systems. Recent progress in lipid nanoparticles, polymeric carriers, and targeted delivery platforms has improved the stability, specificity, and translational potential of RNA-targeted therapies. The review also highlights current challenges associated with clinical translation, including delivery efficiency, therapeutic specificity, and patient heterogeneity. Overall, epitranscriptomic RNA modifications may provide new opportunities for the development of precision therapeutic strategies for cancer and metabolic diseases.
