SOX6 expression and aneurysms of the thoracic and abdominal aorta.
Article in iScience, 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
Abdominal and thoracic aortic aneurysms (AAAs, TAAs) remain a major cause of deaths worldwide, in part due to the lack of reliable prognostic markers or early warning signs. Sox6 has been found to regulate renin controlling blood pressure. We hypothesized that Sox6 may serve as an important regulator of the mechanisms contributing to hypertension-induced aortic aneurysms. Phenotype and laboratory-wide association scans in a clinical cohort found that SOX6 gene expression is associated with aortic aneurysm in subjects of European ancestry. Sox6 and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) expression were upregulated in aortic tissues from patients affected by either AAA or TAA. In Sox6 knockout mice with angiotensin-II-induced AAA, we found that Sox6 plays critical role in the development and progression of AAA. Our data support a regulatory role of SOX6 in the development of hypertension-induced AAA, suggesting that Sox6 may be a therapeutic target for the treatment of aortic aneurysms.
