1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Autism is a severe neurodevelopmental condition with unknown pathobiology. Nevertheless, multiple pieces of evidence suggest long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) dysregulation may be a contributing factor to this disorder. We investigated the association between the expression of five specific lncRNAs and autism. Peripheral blood was collected from 30 children with autism and 41 healthy children. The expression levels of PCAT-29, lincRNA-ROR, LINC-PINT, lincRNA-p21, and PCAT-1 were calculated. Then, their significance as biomarkers was also evaluated. The expression of LincRNA-ROR (27 times), LINC-PINT (5.26 times), LincRNA-p21 (4.54 times), PCAT-29 (16.66 times), and PCAT-1 (25 times) genes was significantly decreased in patients compared to the control group (p values < 0.05). According to the ROC curve analysis for each lncRNA, LincRNA-ROR, LINC-PINT, LincRNA-p21, PCAT-29, and PCAT-1 lncRNAs with diagnostic power of 0.85, 0.67, 0.64, 0.74, and 0.84, respectively, could be used as diagnostic biomarkers for autism. Additionally, significant positive correlations were reported between expression levels of PCAT-1 and PCAT-29 genes. Moreover, a positive correlation was detected between expression levels of lincRNA-ROR and patients' age. The current study shows further pieces of evidence for deregulation of lncRNAs in autistic patients that show these lncRNAs may play an important part in the pathogenesis of ASD. However, the role of lncRNA in the neurobiology of autism needs to be investigated further.
