Human Plasma Proteomics Links Modifiable Lifestyle Exposome to Disease Risk.
Article in medRxiv : the preprint server for health sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Environmental exposures influence disease risk, yet their underlying biological mechanisms remain poorly understood. We present the Human Exposomic Architecture of the Proteome (HEAP), a framework and resource integrating genetic, exposomic, and proteomic data to uncover how lifestyle influences disease through plasma proteins. Applying HEAP to 2,686 proteins in 53,014 UK Biobank participants, we identified over 11,000 exposure-protein associations across 135 lifestyle exposures. Exposures explained a substantial portion of proteomic variation, with 9% of proteins more influenced by lifestyle than genetics. Mediation analyses across 270 diseases revealed proteins linking exposures to disease risk; for instance, IGFBP1 and IGFBP2 mediated the effects of exercise and diet on type 2 diabetes. These findings were supported by concordant proteomic shifts in interventional studies of exercise and GLP1 agonists, underscoring therapeutic relevance. HEAP provides a resource for advancing disease prevention and precision medicine by revealing mechanisms through which lifestyle shapes human health.
