1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeTo investigate whether cuproptosis-related genes contribute to coronary artery disease (CAD) pathogenesis and to develop a robust, blood-based diagnostic model. PATIENTS AND

methodsWhole-blood transcriptome profiles (GSE180081, GSE180082) were retrieved from the GEO database. After batch-effect correction (limma::removeBatchEffect) and quantile normalization, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between CAD patients (n = 521) and controls (n = 191) were identified with FDR < 0.05 and |log2FC|≥ 1. Consensus clustering (ConsensusClusterPlus, k = 2) on 19 cuproptosis genes stratified patients into high- and low-cuproptosis activity groups. DEGs between these clusters were intersected with the CAD-DEG list to yield 818 cuproptosis-linked DEGs. A five-gene diagnostic signature (HIST1H4E, IL6ST, LST1, RN7SKP45, and SNORD50B) was selected by LASSO regression and modeled with logistic regression. Immune infiltration, ceRNA networks, and druggability were further analyzed. Local RT-qPCR in an independent cohort (12 CAD, 12 controls) confirmed expression trends.

resultsWe identified 818 differentially expressed genes that were common to the CAD and cuproptosis gene sets, and these principally represented the cell-substrate junction and the positive regulation of leukemia. Furthermore, HIST1H4E, IL6ST, RN7SKP45, LST1, and SNORD50B were found to be potentially useful for the diagnosis of CAD using our diagnostic model. These genes were also found to be closely associated with immune modification. Further validation revealed that HIST1H4E, IL6ST, and LST1 are very likely to be potential biomarkers.

conclusionWe constructed a diagnostic prediction model based on cuproptosis-related genes using whole-blood transcriptome data. Our results identify HIST1H4E, IL6ST, and LST1 as potential biomarkers for CAD risk assessment. These findings provide a novel basis for the prediction, prevention, and individualized treatment of CAD.
