Unraveling the interrelationship between breast cancer and endometriosis based on multi-omics analysis.
Article in Discover oncology, 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
backgroundEndometriosis and breast cancer are significant global health burdens affecting women worldwide. Both conditions share notable characteristics including estrogen dependence, progressive growth patterns, recurrence tendencies, and metastatic potential. Despite these biological parallels, the molecular mechanisms connecting these conditions remain incompletely characterized. This study aimed to identify shared gene signatures and underlying molecular processes in breast cancer and endometriosis.
methodsExpression matrices for both conditions were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), UCSC Xena, and the Molecular Taxonomy of Breast Cancer International Consortium. Common differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified using the limma package. Comprehensive analyses included Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment, machine learning-based diagnostic and prognostic model development, potential therapeutic compound screening, tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) characterization, and hub gene identification with subsequent validation.
resultsThe analysis identified 47 common DEGs between breast cancer and endometriosis. Functional assessment of these genes revealed their involvement in critical biological processes including cell cycle regulation, oxidative stress response, and secretory granule and recycling endosome dynamics. Integration of comprehensive genomic and clinical data led to the development of a prognostic model for breast cancer and a diagnostic model for endometriosis.
conclusionThis study provides molecular insights into shared pathogenic mechanisms underlying breast cancer and endometriosis, highlighting common physiological pathways and key regulatory genes. These findings offer novel perspectives for understanding disease pathogenesis and potential therapeutic interventions for both conditions.
