Integrated Network Analysis Decipher ZNF384-Related miR-20b-5p and miR-424-5p in Colon Adenocarcinoma.
Article in Cancer reports (Hoboken, N.J.), 2025. 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
backgroundZNF384 is a C2H2-type zinc finger protein (ZNF) which is implicated in DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair through the classical non-homologous end-joining (cNHEJ) pathway.
aimsTo clarify the regulatory mechanisms involving ZNF384 in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD). METHODS AND
resultsFirst, we conducted a differential expression gene (DEG) analysis of mRNA and lncRNA using TCGA-COAD RNA-Seq data. We also identified ZNF384-related mRNAs through Pearson's correlation coefficient calculation and conducted weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) for these genes, leading to the identification of a cluster of 331 genes with strongly positive correlation to tumor, 84 of which overlapped with DEGs. Gene functional analysis showed enrichment of genes in DNA repair, replication fork, and cell cycle checkpoint signaling pathways. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis of these 84 genes led to the identification of the top 20 key mRNAs. Then we employed three machine learning methods to refine our selection of candidate genes from these intersecting mRNAs. We constructed a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network and identified two significant intersecting miRNAs, miR-20b-5p and miR-424-5p, which have been shown to act as a tumor suppressor gene and an oncogene, respectively. Additionally, we found that KIF14 and KIF18B are regulated by these two miRNAs in this ceRNA network, particularly in DNA damage repair and cell cycle. Finally, validation using an external dataset from the GEO database confirmed their expression patterns.
conclusionThe current study clarifies the mechanisms of how miR-20b-5p and miR-424-5p work in colon cancer and underscores their predictive capabilities in colon cancer.
