Altered expression of lncRNAs in autism spectrum disorder.
Article in Metabolic brain disease, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been recognized as an important epigenetic factor in the evolution of neuropsychiatric conditions. We have selected five lncRNAs (DISC2, PRKAR2A-AS1, LOC105375675, LRRC2-AS1, and LOC101928237) to measure their expression in blood samples of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) versus children with normal development. Expressions of DISC2, PRKAR2A-AS1 and LOC101928237 have been enhanced in ASD cases compared with healthy children (Posterior Beta = 2.508, P value<0.0001; Posterior Beta = 2.793, P value = 0.014 and Posterior Beta = 1.646, P value <0.0001, respectively). On the other hand, expression of LRRC2-AS1 has been lower in ASD patients compared with controls (Posterior Beta = -3.781, P value<0.0001). Remarkably, expression of DISC2 and PRKAR2A-AS1 have been lower in girls compared with boys (Posterior Beta = -0.982, P value<0.0001 and Posterior Beta = -0.135, P value<0.0001, respectively). In addition, expression of DISC2 has been lower in ASD cases aged more than 6 compared with those aged less than 6 years (Posterior Beta = -0.876, P value = 0.003). DISC2, LOC101928237, LRRC2-AS1, and PRKAR2A-AS1 had the area under curve (AUC) values of 0.76, 0.90, 0.92, and 0.79 in distinguishing between ASD and healthy children. Expression levels of none of DISC2, LOC101928237, LOC105375675, LRRC2-AS1, and PRKAR2A-AS1 were correlated with age of ASD cases or healthy controls. A significant correlation was detected between expressions of DISC2 and PRKAR2A-AS1. There were inverse correlations between the following pairs of lncRNAs: DISC2/LRRC2-AS1, DISC2/LOC101928237, LRRC2-AS1/PRKAR2A-AS1, LOC101928237/LRRC2-AS1, and LOC101928237 /LOC105375675. We conclude that DISC2, LOC101928237, LRRC2-AS1, and PRKAR2A-AS1 might be used as potential markers for this condition.
