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

Human blood cells (HBCs) play essential roles in multiple biological processes but their roles in development of uterine polyps are unknown. Here we implemented a Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to investigate the effects of 36 HBC traits on endometrial polyps (EPs) and cervical polyps (CPs). The random-effect inverse-variance weighted method was adopted as standard MR analysis and three additional MR methods (MR-Egger, weighted median, and MR-PRESSO) were used for sensitivity analyses. Genetic instruments of HBC traits was extracted from a large genome-wide association study of 173,480 individuals, while data for EPs and CPs were obtained from the UK Biobank. All samples were Europeans. Using genetic variants as instrumental variables, our study found that both eosinophil count (OR 0.85, 95% CI 0.79-0.93, P = 1.06 × 10
