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

backgroundChronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is driven by unresolved pulmonary arterial thrombi and involves complex processes such as vascular remodeling and immune dysregulation. Early identification of molecular markers may support more accurate diagnosis and individualized therapy.

methodsWe integrated anthropometric and biochemical data with single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), DNA methylation, and Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses. scRNA-seq data were analyzed to determine altered cell populations and pathways. MR and colocalization analyses were conducted to identify genetically supported candidates related to CTEPH.

resultsscRNA-seq analysis revealed altered immune composition, with a modest increase in NK cells and an angiogenesis-associated enrichment of monocytes and HSC-G-CSF cells in CTEPH patients, accompanied by activation of toll-like receptor and MAPK signaling pathways. MR and colocalization identified several genetically associated genes-CLEC7A, TNFSF13B, LRP1, ETS1, and FGR-of which ETS1 and FGR demonstrated good diagnostic performance. DNA methylation analysis indicated marked alterations in chromatin assembly and epigenetic regulation.

conclusionsThis multi-omics study highlights critical genes, epigenetic features, and immune-related cell populations associated with CTEPH. These findings improve understanding of disease mechanisms and offer potential biomarkers for early diagnosis and personalized management.
