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 (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that typically inhibit the translation and stability of messenger RNAs (mRNAs). They are ~22 nucleotides long and control both physiological and pathological processes. Altered expression of miRNAs is often associated with human diseases. Thus, miRNAs have become important therapeutic targets, and some clinical trials investigating the effect of miRNA-based therapeutics in different types of diseases have already been conducted. The tumor microenvironment (TME) comprises cells such as infiltrated immune cells, cancer-associated endothelial cells (CAEs) and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), and all the components participate in the complicated crosstalk with tumor cells to affect tumor progression. Altered miRNAs expression in both these stromal and tumor cells could drive tumorigenesis. Thus, in this review, we discuss how aberrantly expressed miRNAs influence tumor progression; summarize the crosstalk between infiltrated immune cells, CAEs, CAFs, and tumor cells through miRNAs, and clarify the important roles of miRNAs in the tumor microenvironment, which may facilitate the clinical application of miRNA-based therapies.
