Clinicopathological and Prognostic Significance of Long Non-coding RNA MIAT in Human Cancers: A Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Background: Although the treatment of cancer has made evident progress, its morbidity and mortality are still high. A tumor marker is a critical indicator for early cancer diagnosis, and timely cancer detection can efficiently help improve the prognosis of patients. Therefore, it is necessary to identify novel markers associated with cancer. LncRNA myocardial infarction associated transcript (MIAT) is a newly identified tumor marker, and in this study, we aimed to explore the relationship between MIAT and clinicopathological features and patient prognosis. Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and The Cochrane Library from inception to September 2020 to identify correlational studies. Then, we extracted valid data and used Stata software to make forest plots. W
