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

backgroundCoronary collateral circulation (CCC) significantly impacts myocardial perfusion and clinical outcomes in coronary artery disease patients, yet the underlying molecular heterogeneity remains inadequately characterized.

objectiveTo identify distinct molecular phenotypes in patients with poor CCC, validate these phenotypes using clinical parameters, and evaluate their prognostic implications.

methodsThis study enrolled 149 patients (80 with good CCC and 69 with poor CCC) for high-throughput proteomic profiling. Unsupervised consensus clustering identified molecular subtypes within poor CCC patients, followed by differential expression analysis and KEGG pathway enrichment. Boruta feature selection was implemented, and multiple machine learning algorithms were tested on clinical data, with XGBoost optimization (accuracy 80.0%, F1-score 80.31%) and SHAP value interpretation. External validation was performed using the MIMIC database. Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression models assessed major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).

resultsTwo distinct phenotypes emerged among poor CCC patients: Cluster 1 (n = 39, Complement-Driven Vascular Remodeling [CDVR]) and Cluster 2 (n = 30, Immuno-Thrombotic Myocardial Dysfunction [ITMD]). An XGBoost model incorporating fasting glucose, eosinophil percentage, and HbA1c achieved excellent discrimination (AUC > 0.91). External validation confirmed the phenotype-specific clinical patterns. Notably, Cluster 2 demonstrated significantly higher MACE incidence compared to Cluster 1 (Log-rank p < 0.05), with KEGG analysis revealing significant upregulation of platelet activation, diabetic cardiomyopathy, and metabolic pathways in the ITMD phenotype.

conclusionPoor CCC encompasses distinct immune-metabolic phenotypes that can be accurately classified using integrated proteomic-clinical modeling. This classification enables more precise risk stratification and may guide personalized therapeutic strategies for coronary artery disease patients with inadequate collateralization.
