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

Integrated multi-omics and extracellular vesicle (EV) analysis are emerging as powerful, complementary strategies for biomarker discovery. These approaches offer promising tools to enhance early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of alcohol use disorder (AUD). Here we applied an integrated miRNomic and lipidomic approach to analyze plasma EVs from AUD patients and controls of both sexes to gain a comprehensive understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms. We identified an AUD signature with predictive potential for diagnostic applications, representing an initial step in this direction. Individual features (e.g., hsa-miR-99b-3p, hsa-miR-556-5p, Cer_NDS-d39:1, and PI18:0_18:2) represented important components; however, the strength of this signature lay in the combined profile rather than isolated markers. We also revealed an AUD-sex signature that provided insight into how biological responses to alcohol differ between females and males (including features such as hsa-miR-1301-3p and PC39:4), which also underscored the power of multi-omic integration. The individual miRNome approach also revealed an opposite functional alteration by sex in various alcohol related systems, such as pathways associated with immunity, oxidative stress, and autophagy. An open-access Shiny web application ( https://carpercle.shinyapps.io/SexEVEthOmics/ ) accompanies this study, providing interactive access to the complete dataset and additional analyses for customized exploration. Together, our findings underscore the added value of multi-omics integration in identifying disease-associated molecular signatures. This sex-informed approach highlights a promising avenue for the development of more personalized diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies in AUD.
