Vitamin D, prediabetes and type 2 diabetes: bidirectional Mendelian randomization analysis.
Article in European journal of nutrition, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundVitamin D deficiency is associated with glycemic dysregulation in many observational studies. However, the causality between them has not been fully established, especially in Asian origin. We used bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to explore the causal relationship between 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] and glycemic status and indices.
methodsParticipants were included from a survey in East China from 2014 to 2016 (10,338 and 10,655 participants having diabetes and vitamin D-related genotyping information). We calculated weighted genetic risk scores (GRS) as the instrumental variables for 25(OH)D concentration and diabetes based on related single nucleotide polymorphisms. Diagnosis of type 2 diabetes and prediabetes was based on American Diabetes Association criteria.
resultsThe MR-derived odds ratios of genetically determined 25(OH)D for risk of type 2 diabetes (1565/10655) and prediabetes (3915/10655) was 0.985 (95% CI 0.940, 1.032) and 0.982 (95% CI 0.948, 1.016), respectively. The MR-derived estimates for fasting plasma glucose and HbA
conclusionsOur results support the conclusion that there is no causal association between vitamin D and type 2 diabetes and prediabetes using a bidirectional MR approach in a Chinese population.
