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

Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN), the most common primary glomerular disease and a leading cause of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), is associated with cardiovascular and metabolic abnormalities. To explore these genetic overlaps, we integrated large-scale GWAS data from IgAN, 21 pan-vascular diseases (PVDs), 13 metabolic traits, 11 immune cell phenotypes, and established IgAN risk factors. Cross-trait analyses (LDSC, GNOVA, SUPERGNOVA) revealed significant genetic correlations between IgAN and multiple PVDs, including coronary artery disease, heart failure, stroke, aortic aneurysm, and varicose veins. Multi-omics prioritization (TWAS, SMR, MAGMA, and fastBAT) identified shared variants and candidate genes associated with immune regulation, lipid transport, and cardiovascular function. Gene expression profiling demonstrated enrichment of these genes in endothelial cells, macrophages, spleen, lung, and blood. Drug repurposing analysis based on gene-drug matching scores (>0.5) identified promising therapeutic candidates, including immunosuppressants (prednisolone, cyclosporine, azathioprine), lipid-lowering agents (pitavastatin, fenofibrate), and the antiplatelet drug aspirin. These findings offer novel opportunities for precision medicine and drug repurposing in IgAN patients with cardiometabolic disorders.
