Serum Calcium Levels and Parkinson's Disease: A Mendelian Randomization Study.
Article in Frontiers in genetics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
backgroundThough increasing epidemiological studies have evaluated the correlation between serum calcium contents and Parkinson's disease (PD), the results are inconsistent. At present, whether there is a causal association between serum calcium content and PD remains undetermined. OBJECTIVE AND
methodsThis study was designed to explore the relationship between increased serum calcium contents and PD risk. In this present study, a Mendelian randomization trial was carried out using a large-scale serum calcium genome-wide association study (GWAS) dataset (
resultsOur data concluded that genetically higher serum calcium contents were not significantly related to PD.
conclusionIn conclusion, we provided genetic evidence that there was no direct causal relationship between serum calcium contents and PD. Hence, calcium supplementation may not result in reduced PD risk.
