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

Background: The severe functional impairment and poor prognosis of early-onset schizophrenia (EOS) create a great need to identify effective biomarkers for early diagnosis in young psychiatric patients. Current research indicates a potential link between loss of autophagy function and emotional and behavioral abnormalities in individuals with psychiatric disorders. Materials and Methods: This study aimed to explore diagnostic autophagy-related endogenous competitive RNA (ceRNA) networks for EOS patients. The messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) expression profiles were obtained from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of 18 EOS patients and 12 healthy controls (HC). A co-expression analysis was performed between 365 core lncRNAs and 55 differentially expressed autophagy-related genes (ARGs) to identify differentially expressed autophagy-related lncRNAs. Subsequently, five diagnostic autophagy-related lncRNAs were identified as candidate genes to construct a ceRNA regulatory network using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) Cox regression, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to evaluate their predictive accuracy. Then, putative interactions among lncRNA-microRNAs (miRNAs)-mRNA were determined based on the lncRNASNP2 and TarBase databases. Results: Three lncRNAs, twenty miRNAs, and ten mRNAs were selected to construct an autophagy-associated ceRNA network associated with EOS occurrence. Through protein-protein interaction network analysis, five hub mRNAs were identified, which exhibited good predictive ability in distinguishing EOS patients from healthy individuals. ROC curve analysis demonstrated that integrating three diagnostic lncRNAs (RP1-135L22.1, RP5-884C9.2, RP11-390F4.3) along with five hub mRNAs ( Conclusion: Through transcriptome analysis, we searched for diagnostic autophagy-related ceRNA networks, which provided valuable candidates for the early diagnosis of EOS.
