Novel therapeutic targets for metabolism-related diseases: proteomic Mendelian randomization and colocalization analyses.
Article in Therapeutic advances in endocrinology and metabolism, 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
Background: In recent years, driven by the rapid advancement of proteomics research, numerous scholars have investigated the intricate associations between plasma proteins and various diseases. Thus, this study aimed to identify novel therapeutic targets for preventing and treating metabolic-related diseases through Mendelian randomization (MR). Methods: This study primarily utilized the MR method, leveraging genetic data from multiple large-scale publicly available genome-wide association studies. We employed two-sample MR within this framework to assess the associations between 1001 plasma proteins and 5 metabolism-related diseases. Finally, we strengthen the robustness and reliability of the MR results by conducting a series of sensitivity analyses, including bidirectional MR, colocalization analysis, Cochran's Results: The results from the inverse variance weighted method revealed that, following false discovery rate correction, many plasma proteins are significantly associated with metabolic-related diseases. Genetically predicted risks vary across diseases: for coronary artery disease, from 0.82 FGR proto-oncogene, Src family tyrosine kinase (FGR) to 1.13 (interleukin-6); for obesity, from 0.992 (POLR2F) to 1.005 (PRKAB1); for osteoporosis, from 0.998 (AIF1) to 1.001 (CLC); for stroke, from 0.71 (TNFRSF1A) to 1.47 (TGM2); and for type 2 diabetes, from 0.79 (KRT18) to 1.47 (RAB37). Conclusion: Our findings reveal numerous plasma proteins linked to metabolic-related diseases. These findings offer fresh insights into the etiology, diagnostics, and treatment of these conditions.
