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 short non-coding RNAs that play important roles in many cellular processes such as development, proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. For this reason, miRNAs have been proposed and investigated as biomarkers and therapeutics for various diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. However, delivery of miRNAs and their antagomirs to target sites remains challenging because of poor cellular uptake and degradation by nucleases. Various delivery systems have been investigated for enhanced delivery of miRNAs to cells, organs, and tissues of interest, thereby enabling evaluation of their biological functions and clinical trials. In particular, non-viral, polymer-based carriers have shown advantages such as versatility of structural modifications and protection of unstable miRNA. Herein, we review properties and applications of poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid), chitosan, polyethyleneimine, and polyamidoamine dendrimers as carriers for effective delivery systems of miRNA mimic or anti-miRNAs that directly target essential miRNAs and/or their target genes. A number of miRNAs in clinical trials appear to use chemically modified miRNAs without any particular delivery system except one study with liposomal miRNA. With more accumulation of positive research results on polymeric delivery of miRNA in vitro and in vivo, we expect that polymeric delivery system will accelerate advancement of miRNA therapeutics to clinical study in the near future.
