Prognostic utility of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway biomarkers in predicting outcomes of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 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: To investigate the expression profiles of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway-related biomarkers in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and to evaluate their predictive value for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Methods: A total of 200 STEMI patients admitted to the emergency department between August 2021 and August 2024 were enrolled. Peripheral venous blood samples were collected immediately before emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and serum levels of Wnt1, β-catenin, Wnt5a, secreted frizzled-related protein 5 (SFRP5), and Dickkopf-related protein 1 (DKK1) were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Based on the occurrence of MACE during hospitalization and within 1-year follow-up, patients were categorized into the MACE group ( Results: Serum levels of Wnt1, β-catenin, Wnt5a, and DKK1 were elevated, whereas SFRP5 was markedly reduced in the MACE group. Patients with high serum levels of Wnt1, β-catenin, Wnt5a, or DKK1 had significantly higher MACE incidence rates, while those with high SFRP5 levels had a lower incidence. β-catenin, DKK1, and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) were identified as independent risk factors for MACE in STEMI patients. The combined prediction model of β-catenin and DKK1 (AUC = 0.946; 95% CI = 0.910-0.981) showed superior predictive performance compared with single biomarkers. Conclusion: The combined detection of β-catenin and DKK1 may serve as a potential biomarker for risk stratification in STEMI patients.
