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

microRNAs (miRNA) are small regulatory RNAs exerting pleiotropic functions in virtually any immune cell-type. Dozens of miRNAs with a known function in the immune system constitute interesting drug targets for immunomodulation. Chemical modifications of nucleic acid-based miRNA mimics and inhibitors largely solved instability issues but delivery to immune cells remains a major challenge. However, recent success targeting the acidic tumor microenvironment is very promising for inflammatory diseases. Moreover, small molecules are being explored as an interesting alternative. Although RNA is often considered 'undruggable' by small molecules recent progress modulating miRNA function through small molecules is encouraging. Computational approaches even allow predictions about specific small molecule/RNA interactions. Finally, recent clinical success demonstrates that drugs targeting RNAs work in humans.
