The table states SNHG7 is “Down” regulated, but the text clearly states it is “significantly upregulated” (Page 7). This is a direct contradiction.
Incorrect Mechanism Descriptions: The table entry for H19 lists “miR-200b↓→VEGFA↑”, which is opposite to the authors’ own cited work (Thomas et al., 2019) where H19 prevents EndMT, suggesting it would decrease VEGFA. Similarly, the entry for MEG3 lists “VEGF↑” and “TGF-β1↑” as effects of downregulation, but the text says overexpressed MEG3 counters the increase in these factors. The arrows are used inconsistently and are often reversed, which is misleading for a reader trying to understand the pathways.
