Selection of Common Genes Associated with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Cardiovascular Disease via a Network- and Pathway-Based Approach.
Article in Anatolian journal of cardiology, 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
backgroundPatients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the mechanisms underlying the comorbidity between RA and CVD remain poorly understood. This study aimed to identify the shared genes between RA and CVD and to explore their functional relationships.
methodsRheumatoid arthritis- and CVD-associated genes were obtained from the DisGeNET and Malacards databases, respectively. Shared genes between the 2 diseases were identified, and gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analyses were performed using WebGestalt and Cytoscape (v3.9.0). To further investigate potential molecular interactions, protein-protein interaction networks were constructed based on data from the STRING database. Finally, the in silico Tabula Muris single-cell transcriptomic dataset was used to assess the tissue-specific expression of candidate genes and evaluate their potential roles in specific tissues and cell types.
resultsA total of 108 genes were shared between RA and CVD, out of the 898 and 552 genes identified for each condition. Functional enrichment analysis showed that these shared genes were predominantly associated with inflammation and immune response-related pathways. Among them, 42 candidate genes were identified, of which 7 (i.e., IFNG, CCL5, CXCL10, FN1, EGFR, CXCL1, and CD44) were highlighted based on their strong connectivity and biological relevance. For validation, the validation, Tabula Muris single-cell transcriptomic dataset revealed that these genes were highly expressed in mouse cardiac tissues.
conclusionSeven shared genes associated with both RA and CVD were identified, which may contribute to the comorbidity between the 2 diseases.
