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

Emerging evidence from observational studies suggests an increased risk of Parkinson's disease (PD) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, to date it is not clear whether a causal relationship exists. To investigate whether IBD is causally related to PD, a two-sample Mendelian randomization study was carried out. Independent genetic instruments from the largest available genome-wide association study (GWAS) for IBD (7045 cases, 456,327 controls) including European participants were used to investigate the association with PD (56,306 cases; 1.4 million controls). The results were validated by using a second IBD sample (12,882 cases; 21,770 controls) including the main subtypes ulcerative colitis (UC; 6968 cases; 20,464 controls) and Crohn's disease (CD; 5956 cases; 14,927 controls). The radial inverse-variance weighted (IVW) approach was used in the primary analysis, and the robustness of the findings were confirmed in a number of sensitivity analyses. Finally, the recently proposed CAUSE approach was performed. There was no evidence of an association between IBD and PD (OR
