Role of glycosylated small noncoding RNAs in tumor: mechanism, function and clinical significance.
Review in Glycoconjugate journal, 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
GlycoRNAs are a newly identified class of post‑transcriptionally modified small non‑coding RNAs that carry covalently attached N‑ and O‑linked glycans. This discovery challenges the conventional view that glycosylation is exclusive to proteins and lipids, and places RNA at the interface of glycobiology and immune recognition. Emerging evidence implicates glycoRNAs in tumor biology, where they function as cell‑surface ligands for Siglecs and P‑selectin, thereby modulating three interconnected processes: immune escape and immune regulation, intercellular communication and adhesion, and tumor metastasis and metabolic crosstalk. Recent technological advances-including single‑cell imaging (ARPLA), FRET‑based sEV analysis, and chemoenzymatic profiling-have enabled sensitive detection and revealed aberrant glycoRNA patterns across malignancies. Notably, tumor‑specific glycoRNA signatures correlate with immune checkpoint glycosylation (such as PD‑1/PD‑L1) and metabolic reprogramming. This review synthesizes current understanding of glycoRNA biosynthesis, structure, and function, with an emphasis on its emerging roles in the tumor microenvironment. We also outline the potential of RNA‑centric glycobiology for developing liquid biopsy biomarkers and mechanism‑informed immunotherapeutic strategies.
