MicroRNA-221: A Context-Dependent Mediator in Human Diseases-Highlights from Molecular Mechanisms to Clinical Translation.
Review in Cells, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
MicroRNA-221 (miR-221), a conserved small non-coding RNA, acts as a pivotal modulator of biological processes across multiple organ systems, the dysregulation of which is closely linked to the pathogenesis of various human diseases. This review systematically summarizes its multifaceted roles in cancer, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), neurological disorders, digestive system diseases, respiratory conditions, and adipose-endocrine dysfunction. In cancer, miR-221 exerts context-dependent oncogenic/tumor-suppressive effects by targeting phosphatase and tensin homolog (
