Therapeutic applications of local injection of hsa-miR-634 into canine spontaneous malignant melanoma tumors.
Article in Cancer gene therapy, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06686043 (A Phase 2 Study of HPV L1 Vaccine in Combination With Imiquimod and Metformin in Cervical, Vaginal, and Vulvar Cancers), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
Malignant melanoma (MM) is one of the most common tumors in both dogs and humans. As canine MM (CMM) and human MM (HMM) have similar clinical characteristics, CMM appears to be a good clinical model for HMM. We previously demonstrated that the introduction of a synthetic double-strand-microRNA-634 (miR-634) mimic triggered apoptotic cell death by directly targeting the genes associated with cytoprotective processes in various human cancer cell lines, including those of HMM. This study aimed to investigate the antitumor effects of the local administration of miR-634 on spontaneous CMMs to provide a basis for future applications of miR-634 formulations in HMM treatment. We found that miR-634 administration induced apoptosis in CMM cell lines in vitro via downregulation of Asct2, Nrf2, and survivin expression, similar to the mechanisms in HMM cell lines. Furthermore, intratumoral miR-634 administration induced antitumor effects in four of seven spontaneous CMM cases, with no adverse effects. Local administration of miR-634 to lung metastasis under ultrasound guidance induced tumor shrinkage. These results confirm the antitumor effect of the local administration of miR-634 in spontaneous CMM, a model for spontaneous HMM, thereby providing a novel treatment strategy for HMM.
