Marked alteration of phosphoinositide signaling-associated molecules in postmortem prefrontal cortex with bipolar disorder.
Article in Neuropsychopharmacology reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
aimThe etiology of bipolar disorder (BD) remains unknown; however, lipid abnormalities in BD have received increasing attention in recent years. In this study, we examined the expression levels of enzyme proteins associated with the metabolic pathway of phosphoinositides (PIs) and their downstream effectors, protein kinase B (Akt1) and glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β), which have been assumed to be the targets of mood stabilizers such as lithium, in the postmortem brains of patients with BD.
methodsThe protein expression levels of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase type-1 gamma (PIP5K1C), phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase alpha (PIK4CA), phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted from chromosome 10 (PTEN), Akt1, and GSK3β were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and multiplex fluorescent bead-based immunoassays in the prefrontal cortex (PFC). Specifically, PTEN, Akt1, GSK3β, and PIP5K1C were measured in seven BD patients and 48 controls. Additionally, PIK4CA was analyzed in 10 cases and 34 controls.
resultsPTEN expression levels were markedly decreased in the PFCs of patients with BD, whereas those of Akt and GSK3β were prominently elevated. Moreover, patients medicated with lithium exhibited higher Akt1 expression levels and lower PTEN expression levels in comparison with the untreated group.
conclusionOur results suggest that the expression levels of Akt1/GSK3β and its upstream regulator PTEN are considerably altered.
