Plant-Derived miR-55 Alleviates Liver Fibrosis by Disrupting the CK2α/SMO Complex and Promoting SMO Ubiquitination.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The development of RNA-based drugs for MAFLD-related fibrosis is severely hampered by the poor oral bioavailability of nucleic acids. This study employed a novel, patent-protected LNP formulation to orally deliver plant-derived miR-55 and investigate its therapeutic potential, focusing on its novel mechanism of action via the CK2α/SMO interaction. In a rat model established with a methionine-choline-deficient diet, orally administered miR-55 markedly improved liver injury, lipid dysregulation, oxidative stress, and pathological collagen deposition. The anti-fibrotic efficacy was quantitatively confirmed by a significant reduction in hepatic hydroxyproline content and downregulation of key fibrogenic genes (
