Cell type-specific epigenetic regulatory circuitry of coronary artery disease loci.
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
Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. Recently, hundreds of genomic loci have been shown to increase risk for the disease, however, the molecular mechanisms underlying signals from risk loci remain largely unclear. Here, we integrate the latest statistics of coronary artery disease genetics from over one million individuals with epigenetic data from 45 cell types to identify genes and transcription factors whose regulation is affected by variants. Applying two statistical approaches, we identify 1580 candidate disease genes, including 23.5% non-coding RNA genes. Enrichment analysis and phenome-wide association studies link the candidate genes to disease-specific pathways and risk factors. We conduct a proof-of-concept biological validation for the non-coding RNA gene IQCH-AS1 via knockout in a human preadipocyte strain. Our study not only pinpoints CAD candidate genes in a cell type-specific manner but also highlights the roles of an understudied ncRNA gene in CAD genetics.
