Non-coding RNA: a new perspective on the regulation of secondary metabolites in medicinal plants.
Review in Molecular horticulture, 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
Medicinal plants are a valuable reservoir of diverse secondary metabolites (SMs), which serve as essential sources for natural drug development. However, the natural production of these bioactive compounds is generally low. Moreover, the biosynthetic processes of these SMs are regulated by a sophisticated network involving transcription factors, post-translational modifications, as well as plant hormones and environmental factors. Recent studies have identified an increasing number of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) and confirmed their roles in regulating SM biosynthesis. In this review, we systematically summarize the research progress on the regulation of SM biosynthesis by ncRNAs in medicinal plants, including microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), circular RNAs (circRNAs), and phased secondary siRNAs (phasiRNAs). Additionally, we summarize ncRNA‑mediated studies in staple crops, horticultural plants, and woody species to provide references for medicinal plant research. Finally, we discuss future research directions for ncRNAs in medicinal plants, including the construction of spatiotemporal regulatory networks, the application of artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted approaches, the elucidation of molecular regulatory mechanisms, and potential applications of ncRNAs in the standardized production of medicinal plants.
