Identification of circadian rhythm-associated genes and therapeutic targets in myopia with dynamics simulation: a multiomics study using machine learning algorithms and Mendelian randomization.
Article in Journal of computer-aided molecular design, 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
The prevalence of myopia is rising, with genetic and environmental factors playing key roles. Disruptions in circadian melatonin rhythms are also linked to refractive errors, though exact mechanisms remain unclear. Differential expression analysis on the GSE136701 dataset identified circadian-related genes. GSEA, GO, and KEGG analyses revealed key genes. To identify key genes, seven machine learning models were employed, and their performance was evaluated using ROC curve analysis. The correlation genes were further assessed. Concurrently, we performed a comprehensive analysis of immune infiltration and correlation pertaining to these pivotal genes. Additionally, potential target drugs were screened using the DSigDB database, and both protein-protein and molecular docking analyses were performed. To investigate the causal relationship between target genes and myopia, two-sample MR analysis was conducted. Finally, single-cell annotation and cell-cell communication analyses were carried out on the GSE235684 dataset. We preliminarily identified four circadian rhythm-related key genes: UTS2, BTBD9, S100A3, and LGALS9. We identified 8-Bromo-cAMP as the small molecule exhibiting the highest binding efficiency to BTBD9 and UTS2, with a docking binding energy of - 37.5 kcal/mol for the BTBD9-UTS2 complex and - 6.8 kcal/mol for the complex-small molecule interaction. The dynamics simulation analysis has further corroborated the dynamic stability of the UTS2-BTBD9 complex binding with 8-bromo-cAMP. Toxicological profiling of the selected small molecule 8-Bromo-cAMP was conducted using Protox-3.0 and ADMEtlab3.0. Additionally, Mendelian randomization analysis revealed a significant association between UTS2 and myopia, with an inverse variance weighted (IVW) P value of 0.013 (OR 0.532, 95% CI 0.323-0.877). Cochran's Q test revealed no significant heterogeneity in either MR-Egger (Q = 3.753, P = 0.289) or IVW (Q = 3.893, P = 0.421) estimates, supporting the use of fixed-effects models.
