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

The integration of multi-omics data offers transformative potential for elucidating complex molecular mechanisms underlying biological processes and diseases. In this study, we developed a lipid-metabolite-protein network that combines a protein-protein interaction network and enzymatic and genetic interactions of proteins with metabolites and lipids to provide a unified framework for multi-omics integration. Using hyperbolic embedding, the network visualizes connections across omics layers, accessible through a user-friendly Shiny R (version 1.10.0) software package. This framework ranks molecules across omics layers based on functional proximity, enabling intuitive exploration. Application in a cardiovascular disease (CVD) case study identified lipids and metabolites associated with CVD-related proteins. The analysis confirmed known associations, like cholesterol esters and sphingomyelin, and highlighted potential novel biomarkers, such as 4-imidazoleacetate and indoleacetaldehyde. Furthermore, we used the network to analyze empagliflozin's temporal effects on lipid metabolism. Functional enrichment analysis of proteins associated with lipid signatures revealed dynamic shifts in biological processes, with early effects impacting phospholipid metabolism and long-term effects affecting sphingolipid biosynthesis. Our framework offers a versatile tool for hypothesis generation, functional analysis, and biomarker discovery. By bridging molecular layers, this approach advances our understanding of disease mechanisms and therapeutic effects, with broad applications in computational biology and precision medicine.
