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

Background and Aims: Observational epidemiological studies have suggested that atopic dermatitis (AD) was associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). However, causality remains to be established. In the present study, Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses were used to evaluate whether AD and CVDs are causally associated. Methods: This study was based on summary statistics of genome-wide association studies (GWASs) for a set of cardiovascular outcomes including heart failure (HF), coronary artery disease (CAD), myocardial infarction (MI), atrial fibrillation (AF), stroke, and stroke subtypes. A total of 19 independent single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with AD were identified at a genome-wide significance threshold ( Results: Genetically determined AD was causally associated with HF [odds ratio (OR), 1.07; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.03-1.10; Conclusion: This MR study provided evidence to support that AD exerted an effect contributing to HF. No significant associations were found for other cardiovascular outcomes. The study suggested that prevention and early diagnosis of AD may help prevent HF. Improved awareness of these associations is warranted for better management of CVDs in the future.
