1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Non-coding RNAs, as microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, and circular RNAs, are significant modulators of tumor biology and gene expression. miRNAs primarily regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level, whereas lncRNAs influence transcriptional activity and epigenetic states. Moreover, circRNAs function as highly stable molecules that shape oncogenic pathways by sequestering miRNAs and interacting with RNA-binding proteins. By addressing these regulatory roles, ncRNAs have emerged as attractive candidates for therapeutic intervention, yet their clinical translation remains limited by rapid degradation, insufficient cellular uptake, and off-target effects. Engineered exosomes-natural nanosized vesicles with strong biocompatibility and barrier-crossing capacity-represent a promising platform to overcome these delivery challenges. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances in exosome engineering for cancer-directed ncRNA delivery. We summarize state-of-the-art strategies designed to enhance loading efficiency, targeting specificity, and therapeutic performance of exosome-mediated delivery systems for miRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs, and outline their growing potential in next-generation cancer therapy.
