Identifying critical States of complex diseases by local network Wasserstein distance.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Complex diseases often undergo abrupt transitions from pre-disease to disease states, with the pre-disease state is typically unstable but potentially reversible through timely intervention. Detecting these critical transitions is crucial. We propose a model-free method, Local Network Wasserstein Distance (LNWD), for identifying critical transitions/pre-disease states in complex diseases using single sample analysis. LNWD measures statistical perturbations in normal samples caused by diseased samples using the Wasserstein distance, and identifies critical states by observing LNWD score changes. Applied to KIRP, KIRC, LUAD, ESCA (TCGA datasets) and GSE2565, GSE13268 (GEO datasets), the method successfully identified critical states in six disease datasets. This single-sample, local network-based approach provides early warning signals for medical diagnosis and holds great potential for personalized disease diagnosis.
