Estimation of Causal Effect of Age at Menarche on Pubertal Height Growth Using Mendelian Randomization.
Article in Genes, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
We use Mendelian randomization to estimate the causal effect of age at menarche on late pubertal height growth and total pubertal height growth. The instrument SNPs selected from the exposure genome-wide association study (GWAS) are validated in additional population-matched exposure GWASs. Based on the inverse variance weighting method, there is a positive causal relationship of age at menarche on late pubertal growth (β^=0.56, 95% CI: (0.34, 0.78), p=3.16×10-7) and on total pubertal growth (β^=0.36, 95% CI: (0.14, 0.58), p=1.30×10-3). If the instrument SNPs are not validated in additional exposure GWASs, the estimated effect on late pubertal height growth increases by 3.6% to β^=0.58 (95% CI: (0.42, 0.73), p=4.38×10-13) while the estimates on total pubertal height growth increases by 41.7% to β^=0.51 (95% CI: (0.35, 0.67), p=2.96×10-11).
