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

backgroundCarotid artery stenosis (CAS) is a major cause of ischemic stroke, yet reliable molecular biomarkers for early identification remain limited.

methodsWe integrated single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), bulk transcriptomics, and in-house multi-omics data, applying WGCNA and machine learning to identify endothelial cell-derived diagnostic biomarkers, validated across independent GEO and ZZ cohorts at single-cell, transcriptomic, and proteomic levels.

resultsscRNA-seq identified endothelial enrichment in CAS and yielded 836 markers. Integrative analysis (DEGs + WGCNA) defined 80 candidates, with NRP1 and XAF1 selected by machine learning. Both were consistently upregulated and validated across multi-omics datasets, showing strong diagnostic performance.

conclusionNRP1 and XAF1 represent novel endothelial cell-derived biomarkers with potential utility for early CAS screening and clinical diagnosis.
