MicroRNA signatures in inflammatory dental tissues: biomarkers and molecular mechanisms.
Review in Frontiers in molecular biosciences, 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
Inflammatory immune responses in the dental pulp are shaped by interacting cellular and molecular processes, and microRNAs (miRNAs) are important post-transcriptional regulators. However, an integrated understanding of how miRNA networks orchestrate the balance between pulpitis progression and tissue repair remains incomplete. This review examines the differential expression profiles of miRNAs in inflamed dental pulp, and evaluates their potential as adjunctive biomarkers of pulpitis status. We also summarize how miRNAs regulate key inflammatory signaling cascades, including the TLR/NF-κB, mitogen-activated protein kinase, and cGAS-STING pathways, and discuss their integration within broader epigenetic crosstalk networks involving lncRNAs and circRNAs. We further analyze how the inflammatory microenvironment and physicochemical stresses alter the osteogenic/odontogenic differentiation potential of dental pulp stem cells through miRNA-dependent regulation. We then assess the translational prospects of exosome-delivered miRNAs as cell-free therapeutics and highlight unresolved challenges in sampling feasibility, donor heterogeneity, delivery specificity, and clinical validation. By synthesizing evidence on miRNA regulatory networks in pulpal inflammation and regeneration, this review provides a framework for evaluating miRNA-based diagnostic tools and targeted therapies for pulpitis.
