The role of RNA modifications in cancer translational control.
Review in RNA biology, 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
RNA modifications have emerged as central regulators of cancer translational control. Unlike transcriptional reprogramming, which unfolds over hours, modification-dependent translational rewiring enables rapid proteomic adaptation to the nutrient-deprived, hypoxic, and immunologically hostile tumour microenvironment. Yet most existing reviews organize epitranscriptomic mechanisms by modification type or cancer hallmark, obscuring the mechanistic logic by which chemical marks collectively reshape the translational apparatus. This review adopts a translation-centric framework, examining how the most abundant modifications on mRNAs, tRNAs, and rRNAs regulate each stage of protein synthesis in malignant cells. We survey the epitranscriptomic toolkit, including modification chemistries, enzymatic writers, readers, and erasers, and detection technologies including nanopore direct RNA sequencing. We then trace how modifications control initiation (m6A-driven mRNA circularization, cap-independent translation
