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

The increasing global incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) necessitates the development of innovative and targeted therapeutic interventions. Marine-derived bioactive compounds have gained prominence due to their structural diversity, intrinsic bioactivity, and potential to modulate oncogenic and tumor-suppressive microRNAs (miRNAs). Simultaneously, miRNAs have gained attention as critical regulators of gene expression in CRC, influencing key processes such as proliferation, metastasis, apoptosis, and chemoresistance. Nanotechnology has further transformed this field by enhancing drug solubility, stability, and tumor-specific delivery, thereby enabling combinatorial approaches such as the co-delivery of miRNA-targeted nano-formulations with conventional chemotherapeutics. Notably, co-delivery systems combining miRNA-targeted nano-marine drugs with conventional chemotherapy have shown synergistic effects in overcoming drug resistance and enhancing therapeutic efficacy. Despite encouraging preclinical outcomes, clinical translation remains constrained by challenges related to pharmacokinetics, scalability, immunogenicity, and regulatory compliance. This review critically evaluates the mechanistic interplay between marine compounds and miRNAs in CRC, advances in nanoformulation strategies, and translational barriers, providing insights into future directions for clinical application.
