Regulation of endometriosis by long non-coding RNA SRA through estrogen receptor: research progress.
Review in American journal of translational research, 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
Endometriosis (EMS) is an estrogen-dependent chronic gynecologic condition that affects approximately 10%-15% of women of childbearing age. Long non-coding RNA SRA (lncRNA SRA) was the first identified non-coding RNA that possesses dual functions: it acts as an RNA scaffold and also encodes the SRAP protein. It participates in estrogen signaling by co-activating estrogen receptors. Recent studies have revealed a distinct expression pattern in ectopic lesions of EMS: lncRNA SRA and ERα are coordinately downregulated, whereas SRAP and ERβ are coordinately upregulated. This inverse correlation highlights a unique dual-function switching mechanism of the SRA/SRAP axis in the pathogenesis of EMS. In this review, we systematically summarize the conserved domain features of lncRNA SRA and its dual roles as an RNA scaffold and a protein-coding transcript. We then dissect the molecular mechanisms by which SRA/SRAP influences the ERα/ERβ balance, thereby modulating cell proliferation, apoptosis, and the inflammatory microenvironment in EMS. Based on current evidence, we propose a dual-function switching model: the EMS microenvironment drives alternative splicing of the SRA gene, shifting the output from lncRNA SRA toward SRAP protein. These two products selectively couple with ERα and ERβ, respectively, and jointly reshape estrogen receptor signaling in ectopic endometrial cells. Furthermore, we discuss the clinical translational potential of the lncRNA SRA/SRAP ratio as both a diagnostic biomarker and a therapeutic target, aiming to provide new insight for precision diagnosis and treatment of EMS.
