Multi-organ network of cardiometabolic disease-depression multimorbidity revealed by phenotypic and genetic analyses of MR images.
Article in Nature communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
The development and progression of cardiometabolic diseases and depression multimorbidity involves pathophysiological processes across multiple organs. Using multi-organ imaging data from 31,246 UK Biobank participants, we investigate the multi-organ manifestations and their phenotypic connections and shared genetic architecture underlying the multimorbidity. Phenotypic analyses identify seven abdominal, 16 cardiac, and 107 brain traits forming 1418 abdomen-heart-brain cliques, with liver volume, myocardial wall thickness, and white matter hyperintensity volume as central nodes. Genetic analyses reveal 43 distinct genomic loci (21 novel) shared by these cliques, with the most widely shared loci mapped to genes NUDC, ARID1A, and CRHR1. The 224 protein-coding genes mapped by these loci are enriched in 39 biological processes related to cardiometabolic and neuropsychiatric functions, with 15 genes expressed across liver-heart-brain axis tissues. Combining biochemical and multi-organ imaging indicators significantly improves multimorbidity prediction. These findings uncover multi-organ network underlying physical-mental multimorbidity and highlight the necessity of holistic management.
