tRNA-derived small noncoding RNAs: Roles in brain aging and neurodegenerative disorders.
Review in Zoological research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Transfer ribonucleic acid-derived small ribonucleic acids (tsRNAs) are an emerging class of regulatory noncoding RNAs produced through the precise cleavage of mature or precursor tRNAs (pre-tRNAs). Once considered degradation byproducts, tsRNAs are now recognized as key modulators of gene expression, epigenetic regulation, and cellular stress responses. In recent years, growing evidence has implicated tsRNAs in the aging process of the brain and in the pathogenesis of age-related neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). These small RNAs are involved in modulating synaptic function, neuronal survival, and neuroinflammation, and their expression profiles are dynamically altered in response to aging and disease-associated stressors. This review summarizes the biogenesis, classification, and molecular and cellular mechanisms of tsRNAs, with an emphasis on their subcellular locations and associated biological functions. We further explore their roles in brain aging and age-related neurodegenerative diseases and the emerging potential of tsRNAs as biomarkers and therapeutic targets for age-related neurological disorders while highlighting current challenges and future directions in this rapidly advancing field.
