Role and mechanism of G9A-BMP2 in calcification-induced formation of unstable plaque.
Article in Atherosclerosis plus, 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
Background: G9A, a histone methyltransferase that facilitates H3K9 dimethylation, has been implicated in the epigenetic regulation of vascular processes. This study encapsulates its involvement in the calcification and stability of atherosclerotic plaques, further investigating its interaction with bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2), a pivotal factor in vascular calcification, unveiling that G9A fosters plaque calcification and instability via the BMP2 signaling pathway. Methods: The progression of unstable plaques, histone methylation status, and vascular calcification incidence were monitored in the carotid plaques of ApoE Results: In ApoE Conclusions: Our findings indicate that G9A amplifies vascular calcification through the activation of Bmp2 signaling, a fundamental mediator of vascular calcification. The relationship between vascular calcification and the emergence of unstable plaques may be intricately associated with histone methylation.
