Identification of potential therapeutic targets for stroke and its subtypes by integrating proteomes and genetics from human plasma.
Article in Brain communications, 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
Previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified several risk genes for stroke; however, it remains unclear how they confer risk for the disease. We conducted an integrative analysis to identify candidate genes for stroke and stroke subtypes by integrating blood-derived multi-omics data with genetic data. We systematically integrated the latest stroke GWAS database with human plasma proteomes and performed proteome-wide association studies, Mendelian randomization (MR), Bayesian colocalization analysis and transcriptome-wide association study to prioritize genes that associate the risk of stroke and its subtypes with their expression and protein abundance in plasma. The target genes were verified by performing tissue and cell type specificity, and functional analysis using the Genotype-Tissue Expression database, single-cell RNA sequencing and Gene Ontology databases. A two-step MR analysis was followed to explore the potential mechanisms. We found that the protein abundance of seven genes (
