“…A total of 26 studies analyzed the diagnostic value of RNAs for GC: MiRNAs in 13 studies (22,24,25,(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)37,40,42,44,45), four of which performed validation tests (25,29,31,44); lncRNAs in nine studies (19,20,23,26,35,38,39,41,45); circular RNAs (circRNAs) in three studies (21,27,34); P-element induced wimpy testis-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) in one study (42); mRNA in one study (43); and a single study reported the diagnostic value of protein (36). A total of nine studies set a diagnostic cut-off value, which was determined using the Youden Index (19,23,27,31,33,34,39,41,45). A total of five studies reported the diagnostic value of RNA panels (25,27,29,31,…”
