The expression analysis of long noncoding RNAs PCAT-1, PCAT-29, and MER11C in bipolar disorder.

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) are transcripts with a length of usually more than 200 nucleotides (nt) that have promised functions in varied biological processes. lncRNAs participate in the regulation of differentiation, development, and function of the brain. Thus, their dysregulation might play important roles in the etiology of neurological disorders such as BD. In this study, the expression level of PCAT-1, PCAT-29, and MER11C lncRNAs was evaluated in the blood of BD patients compared to the control group. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells of 50 BD type I patients and 50 healthy individuals were isolated. The RNAs were extracted and cDNA was synthesized. Then, the expression level of the desired lncRNAs was measured through Real-Time PCR. The expression levels of PCAT-29 and MER11C lncRNAs were significantly lower in BD patients compared to controls. However, the expression level of PCAT-1 was not significantly different between these two sets of samples. According to the ROC curve, PCAT-29 and MER11C had significant diagnostic power for the differentiation of BD patients from controls. Taken together, our results indicate dysregulation of two lncRNAs in patients with BD and the possible roles of these lncRNAs in the neuropathology of bipolar disorder.
