Oxidative Stress and Psychiatric Disorders: Evidence from the Bidirectional Mendelian Randomization Study.
Article in Antioxidants (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 49 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Observational studies have shown that oxidative stress is highly related to psychiatric disorders, while its cause−effect remains unclear. To this end, a Mendelian randomization study was performed to investigate the causal relationship between oxidative stress and psychiatric disorders. On the one hand, all causal effects of oxidative stress injury biomarkers (OSIB) on psychiatric disorders were not significant (p > 0.0006), while the findings suggested that part of OSIB was nominally associated with the risk of psychiatric disorders (causal OR of uric acid (UA), 0.999 for bipolar disorder (BD), and 1.002 for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD); OR of catalase was 0.903 for anorexia nervosa (AN); OR of albumin was 1.162 for autism; p < 0.05). On the other hand, major depressive disorder (MDD) was significantly associated with decreased bilirubin (p = 2.67 × 10−4); ADHD was significantly associated with decreased ascorbate (p = 4.37 × 10−5). Furthermore, there were also some suggestively causal effects of psychiatric disorders on OSIB (BD on decreased UA and increased retinol; MDD on increased UA and decreased ascorbate; schizophrenia on decreased UA, increased retinol and albumin; ADHD on increased UA, and decreased catalase, albumin, and bilirubin; AN on decreased UA). This work presented evidence of potential causal relationships between oxidative stress and psychiatric disorders.
