Dysregulation of lncRNAs in circulation of patients with periodontitis: results of a pilot study.
Article in BMC oral health, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundPeriodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disorder with a complex etiology. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to affect pathoetiology of periodontitis. We aimed at identification of expression of five lncRNAs, namely Linc0116, Linc00667, CDK6-AS1, FENDRR and DIRC3 in the circulation and gingival tissues of these patients compared with healthy controls.
methodsIn a pilot case-control study, we compared expressions of Linc0116, Linc00667, CDK6-AS1, FENDRR and DIRC3 lncRNAs between blood and tissue samples of patients with periodontitis and healthy controls using real time quantitative PCR technique. The present work was performed on samples got from 26 patients with periodontitis and 28 controls. Female/male ratio was 16/10 and 12/16 in cases and controls, respectively.
resultsThere was no significant difference in the expressions of Linc0116, Linc00667, CDK6-AS1, FENDRR and DIRC3 genes between affected and unaffected tissues. However, expressions of Linc0116, Linc00667, CDK6-AS1, FENDRR and DIRC3 genes were significantly lower in the blood samples of patients when compared with control samples (Ratio of mean expression = 0.16, 0.14, 0.13, 0.10 and 0.14, respectively). Subsequently, we compared expressions of these lncRNAs between patients and controls in a sex-based manner. Expressions of Linc00667, FENDRR and DIRC3 genes were significantly lower in female patients compared with female controls (RME = 0.09, 0.07 and 0.10, respectively). Yet, there was no significant difference in expression of any of mentioned lncRNAs among male subgroups. Consistent with the similar levels of Linc0116, Linc00667, CDK6-AS1, FENDRR and DIRC3 in tissue samples of patients and controls, none of them could separate these two sets of samples. However, AUC values for of Linc0116, Linc00667, CDK6-AS1, FENDRR and DIRC3 expression levels in blood samples were 0.66, 0.72, 0.70, 0.72, 0.70 and 0.68, respectively with FENDRR having the best sensitivity value.
conclusionTaken together, lncRNAs might be involved in the pathologic events in the circulation of patients with periodontitis.
