Analysis of Reciprocally Dysregulated miRNAs in Eutopic Endometrium Is a Promising Approach for Low Invasive Diagnostics of Adenomyosis.

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
Endometriosis is a chronic disease characterized by the growth of endometrial tissue outside of the uterine cavity. Endometriosis affects up to 10% of women of reproductive age and has great social impact. The diagnostics of endometriosis are based on clinical appearance, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); however, a diagnosis is frequently hampered by the absence of objective criteria. Adenomyosis (AM) is a particular type of endometriosis wherein the spread of the ectopic endometrial gland is limited by the uterine myometrium. Alteration of the microRNA expression profile in the eutopic endometrium can be associated with AM, and may be assayed for diagnostic purposes. In the presented study, we aimed to explore the diagnostic potency of this approach. Eutopic endometrium specimens were collected from patients (n = 33) and healthy women (n = 30). The microRNA expression was profiled to select individual microRNAs with AM-associated expression alterations. A new method of two-tailed RT-qPCR microRNA analysis was applied to assay potential markers. The expression ratios of reciprocally dysregulated microRNAs were calculated, and the diagnostic potency of these parameters was evaluated by receiver operation curve (ROC) analysis. Mir-10b, miR-200c and miR-191 were significantly dysregulated in the eutopic endometrium of AM patients. The expression ratio of reciprocally dysregulated microRNAs allowed us to diagnose AM with a range of sensitivity from 65% to 74%, and of specificity from 72% to 86%. The analysis of microRNAs from the eutopic endometrium might present a promising low-invasive method of AM diagnostics.
