Identification of distinct and shared biomarker panels in different manifestations of cerebral small-vessel disease through proteomic profiling.
Article in Nature aging, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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 pathophysiology underlying various manifestations of cerebral small-vessel disease (cSVD) remains poorly understood. Using high-throughput proteomics, we identified common and distinct proteomic signatures of white matter lesions (WMLs), microbleeds, infarcts and their subtypes, measured in 1,670 living patients. Across all cSVD manifestations, markers of extracellular matrix dysregulation and vascular remodeling were increased, including ELN, POSTN, CCN2 and especially MMP12, implicating endothelial and smooth muscle cells of the brain. These proteins were validated in cerebrospinal fluid from two additional datasets, and a subset detected in plasma predicted future cerebrovascular events in the UK Biobank better than risk scores currently used in clinical practice. Analysis focusing on WMLs found microglial-associated proteins associated with faster WML progression, whereas specific neuron-derived proteins mediated the link between WMLs and longitudinal cognitive decline. These data provide a comprehensive atlas of cSVD biomarkers, and our findings provide a promising roadmap for future diagnostics and therapeutics.
