Establishment and validation of the autophagy-related ceRNA network in irreversible pulpitis.
Article in BMC genomics, 2023. 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
backgroundThe molecular mechanisms underlying the onset and progression of irreversible pulpitis have been studied for decades. Many studies have indicated a potential correlation between autophagy and this disease. Against the background of the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) theory, protein-coding RNA functions are linked with long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs). This mechanism has been widely studied in various fields but has rarely been reported in the context of irreversible pulpitis. The hub genes selected under this theory may represent the key to the interaction between autophagy and irreversible pulpitis.
resultsFiltering and differential expression analyses of the GSE92681 dataset, which contains data from 7 inflamed and 5 healthy pulp tissue samples, were conducted. The results were intersected with autophagy-related genes (ARGs), and 36 differentially expressed ARGs (DE-ARGs) were identified. Functional enrichment analysis and construction of the protein‒protein interaction (PPI) network of DE-ARGs were performed. Coexpression analysis was conducted between differentially expressed lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) and DE-ARGs, and 151 downregulated and 59 upregulated autophagy-related DElncRNAs (AR-DElncRNAs) were identified. StarBase and multiMiR were then used to predict related microRNAs of AR-DElncRNAs and DE-ARGs, respectively. We established ceRNA networks including 9 hub lncRNAs (HCP5 and AC112496.1 ↑; FENDRR, AC099850.1, ZSWIM8-AS1, DLX6-AS1, LAMTOR5-AS1, TMEM161B-AS1 and AC145207.5 ↓), which were validated by a qRT‒PCR analysis of pulp tissue from patients with irreversible pulpitis.
conclusionWe constructed two networks consisting of 9 hub lncRNAs based on the comprehensive identification of autophagy-related ceRNAs. This study may provide novel insights into the interactive relationship between autophagy and irreversible pulpitis and identifies several lncRNAs that may serve as potential biological markers.
