Identification of autophagy-related genes as potential biomarkers correlated with immune infiltration in bipolar disorder: a bioinformatics analysis.

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
backgroundBipolar disorder (BPD) is a kind of manic and depressive phase alternate episodes of serious mental illness, and it is correlated with well-documented cortical brain abnormalities. Emerging evidence supports that autophagy dysfunction in neuronal system contributes to pathophysiological changes in neurological disease. However, the role of autophagy in bipolar disorder has rarely been elucidated. This study aimed to identify the autophagy-related gene as a potential biomarker Correlated to immune infiltration in BPD.
methodsThe microarray dataset GSE23848 and autophagy-related genes (ARGs) were downloaded. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between normal and BPD samples were screened using the R software. Machine learning algorithms were performed to screen the significant candidate biomarker from autophagy-related differentially expressed genes (ARDEGs). The correlation between the screened ARDEGs and infiltrating immune cells was explored through correlation analysis.
resultsIn this study, the autophagy pathway was abundantly enriched and activated in BPD, as indicated by Pathway enrichment analysis. We identified 16 ARDEGs in BPD compared to the normal group. A signature of 4 ARDEGs (ERN1, ATG3, CTSB, and EIF2AK3) was screened. ROC analysis showed that the above genes have good diagnostic performance. In addition, immune correlation analysis considered that the above four genes significantly correlated with immune cells in BPD.
conclusionsAutophagy - immune cell axis mediates pathophysiological changes in BPD. Four important ARDEGs are prospective to be potential biomarkers associated with immune infiltration in BPD and helpful for the prediction or diagnosis of BPD.
