Prognostic Role of Oncogenic and Tumor-Suppressing miRNA Types in Egyptian Uterine Cancer Patients.

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
objectiveUterine or endometrial cancer affects many women postmenopausal and may reach an advanced stage before signs and symptoms can be noticed. Micro RNAs (miRNAs), non-coding RNAs, play key roles in gene expression regulation and are linked to cancer. This study aimed to elucidate whether some specific types of miRNAs (miRNA133-a, miRNA-21, miRNA-205) can act as prognostic or diagnostic biomarkers for endometrial carcinoma (ER) in Egyptian patients.
methodsBlood samples from 36 patients suffering from endometrial carcinoma and 15 healthy volunteers were tested for expression levels of miRNA 133a-2, 21 and 205.
resultsThe expression levels of miRNA133a-2, miRNA-21, and miRNA-205 were significantly elevated in ER patients when compared with the control group, the highest levels were noticed in miRNA133a-2. The CA125 levels were significantly higher in all patients as compared with healthy subjects.
conclusionThe findings could support the use of circulating miR133a-2, miR-21 and miR-205 as virtuous prognostic biomarkers for EC in Egyptian patients. The studied miRNA species warrant validation for prospective targeting inhibitory protocols in EC.
