Using Mendelian randomization as the cornerstone for causal inference in epidemiology.
Article in Environmental science and pollution research international, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Mendelian randomization (MR) is attracting considerable critical attention. This paper aimed to explore the characteristics of the publications of MR, to reach an insight in this field and prospect the future trend. A bibliometric analysis was performed to identify published MR-related research. The articles were selected from the Web of Science Core Collection database. Excel 2019, VOSviewer 1.6.9, and CiteSpace 5.7.R3 were used to analyze the information. A total of 1783 papers of MR were identified, and the first included literature appeared in 2003. A total of 2829 institutions from 72 countries participated in the relevant research, while the UK contributed to 852 articles and were in a leading position. The most productive institution was the University of Bristol, and Smith GD who has posted the most articles (n=202) was also from there. The Int J Epidemiol (100 publications, 6861 citations) was the most prolific and high citation journal. Related topics of frontiers will still focus on coronary heart disease, diabetes, cancer, psychiatric disorder, body mass index, and lifestyle factors. We summarized the publication information of MR-related literature from 2003 to 2020, including country and institution of origin, authors, and publication journal. We analyzed former research hotspots in the field of MR and predicted future areas of interest. Exposures and outcomes detected in this paper will be the hotspots and frontiers of research in the next few years.
