Therapeutic siRNA: Mechanisms, challenges, strategies, and clinical translation.
Review in Chinese medical journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
abstractRNA interference is an ancient biological defense mechanism against external invasions. Mechanistically, small interfering RNA (siRNA) can specifically bind to any target gene, according to the principle of complementary base pairing, to exert silencing effects. Therefore, siRNA has the potential to serve as an efficient therapeutic agent for various diseases. However, due to their susceptibility to nucleases, off-target effects, and low cellular uptake, the development of siRNA-based drugs remains challenging. Fortunately, with the advancement in chemical modifications and delivery systems, patisiran, the first siRNA therapeutic, was approved for the treatment of hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2018, which represents a crucial milestone in the field of siRNA research. Subsequently, seven other siRNA drugs were introduced to the market. Thus, siRNA drugs are on their way to becoming standard pharmacotherapy tools. This review presents the mechanisms of action, delivery barriers, chemical modifications, and delivery platforms of siRNA. Furthermore, it also summarizes commercialized siRNA drugs and some clinical trials, thereby providing a comprehensive knowledge map of siRNA drug modifications, delivery strategies, action mechanisms, and updated clinical trials.
