The epitranscriptome meets non-coding RNA: m6A-mediated regulation in oncogenesis and therapy.
Review in Frontiers in cell and developmental biology, 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
The field of epitranscriptomics discovered N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modifications, which function as fundamental elements that control RNA metabolism properties that powerfully affect cancer biology. This review examines the way m6A modifications shape RNA stability while regulating translation, together with their eraser and reader proteins. We demonstrate that m6A modifications guide oncogene and tumor suppressor transcript outcomes, which promote tumor growth, metastasis, and therapeutic resistance. The regulatory function of m6A depends significantly on its relationship with ncRNAs that mainly include miRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs. The review examines the effects of m6A on ncRNA production, stability, export, and degradation, as well as the regulation of m6A protein expression by ncRNAs, highlighting intricate reciprocal feedback loops that drive cancer progression. The interplay between m6A RNA modifications and ncRNAs provides emerging evidence on how they collectively influence the tumor microenvironment, modulate immune system responses, and contribute to resistance. Harnessing ncRNA-m6A interactions for managing drug resistance offers promising therapeutic avenues. However, advancing our understanding of the context-specific roles of m6A modifications and translating these insights into clinical applications remains a significant challenge. This review synthesizes recent findings on ncRNA-m6A crosstalk to lay the groundwork for developing epitranscriptomic strategies in precision oncology.
