Decoding the Promise and Challenges of miRNA-Based Cancer Therapies: An Essential Update on miR-21, miR-34, and miR-155.
Review in International journal of medical sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 39 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs)-based therapies hold great promise for cancer treatment, challenges such as expression variability, off-target effects, and limited clinical effectiveness have led to the withdrawal of many clinical trials. This review investigates the setbacks in miRNA-based therapies by examining miR-21, miR-34, and miR-155, highlighting their functional complexity, off-target effects, and the challenges in delivering these therapies effectively. Moreover, It highlights recent advances in delivery methods, combination therapies, and personalized treatment approaches to overcome these challenges. This review highlights the intricate molecular networks involving miRNAs, particularly their interactions with other non-coding RNAs, such as long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs), emphasizing the pivotal role of miRNAs in cancer biology and therapeutic strategies. By addressing these hurdles, this review aims to steer future research toward harnessing the potential of miRNA therapies to target cancer pathways effectively, enhance anti-tumor responses, and ultimately improve patient outcomes in precision cancer therapy.
