Modelling cell type-specific lncRNA regulatory network in autism with Cycle.
Article in BMC bioinformatics, 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
backgroundAutism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a class of complex neurodevelopment disorders with high genetic heterogeneity. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are vital regulators that perform specific functions within diverse cell types and play pivotal roles in neurological diseases including ASD. Therefore, exploring lncRNA regulation would contribute to deciphering ASD molecular mechanisms. Existing computational methods utilize bulk transcriptomics data to identify lncRNA regulation in all of samples, which could reveal the commonalities of lncRNA regulation in ASD, but ignore the specificity of lncRNA regulation across various cell types.
resultsHere, we present Cycle (Cell type-specific lncRNA regulatory network) to construct the landscape of cell type-specific lncRNA regulation in ASD. We have found that each ASD cell type is unique in lncRNA regulation, and more than one-third and all cell type-specific lncRNA regulatory networks are characterized as scale-free and small-world, respectively. Across 17 ASD cell types, we have discovered 19 rewired and 11 stable modules, along with eight rewired and three stable hubs within the constructed cell type-specific lncRNA regulatory networks. Enrichment analysis reveals that the discovered rewired and stable modules and hubs are closely related to ASD. Furthermore, more similar ASD cell types tend to be connected with higher strength in the constructed cell similarity network. Finally, the comparison results demonstrate that Cycle is a potential method for uncovering cell type-specific lncRNA regulation.
conclusionOverall, these results illustrate that Cycle is a promising method to model the landscape of cell type-specific lncRNA regulation, and provides insights into understanding the heterogeneity of lncRNA regulation between various ASD cell types.
