Multi-Omics Genome-Wide to Explore the Formation and Development Targets for Intracranial Aneurysms.
Article in FASEB journal : official publication of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Intracranial aneurysms (IAs) represent a significant and potentially life-threatening category of disease, and there is currently a lack of effective treatment options aimed at preventing the progression of the disease. Accordingly, this study is dedicated to exploring and identifying effective drug targets that can help in the prevention of both the formation and rupture of IAs, along with a detailed examination of the underlying potential mechanisms involved in these processes. The data related to IAs for this research was obtained from the ISGC Biobank and UK Biobank. Then, we investigated the possible biological functions and unintended consequences of targeting the specific genes that were highlighted in IAs by using mediation analysis, virtual knockout experiments, and PW-MR studies. A total of 5 unique potential drug targets for IAs (FKTN, MAP3K1, PSMA4, SLC22A4, ADAM17), 4 unique potential drug targets for SAH (PSMA4, ADAM17, GPR160, SLC22A4), and 2 unique potential drug targets for UIA (SLC22A4, PRCP) were identified across brain or blood samples. Among the various candidates identified, SLC22A4 has emerged as a promising potential drug target, showing significant expression levels in both blood and brain tissues. Additionally, phenome-wide MR of SLC22A4 across 32 selected phenotypes did not identify statistically significant adverse associations after FDR correction. Virtual knockout (KO) experiments on SLC22A4 revealed that SLC22A4 KO disrupted 81 genes, all of which are involved in IAs-related pathways. Besides, we recognized BRD-K85337334 as potential candidates for targeting SLC22A4. This research indicates that an increase in SLC22A4 gene expression within the blood or brain is directly linked to a heightened risk of IAs rupture, which will aid in prioritizing the development of drugs for IAs.
