Integrative Analysis of miR-21, PTEN, and Immune Signatures in Colorectal Cancer.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a major cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. While immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has transformed cancer therapy, its clinical benefit in CRC is often limited by an immune-excluded tumor microenvironment (TME). MicroRNA-21-5p (miR-21-5p) is a well-established oncomiR in CRC; however, its role in immune resistance remains incompletely elucidated. In this study, we explored the potential immunoregulatory role of miR-21-5p in CRC by integrating transcriptomic profiling of TCGA-COAD and TCGA-READ cohorts with experimental validation of its target PTEN in CRC cell models. MiR-21-5p was markedly upregulated in tumors compared with adjacent normal tissues and was associated with reduced infiltration of CD8
