Effect of visceral adipose tissue mass on coronary artery disease and heart failure: A Mendelian randomization study.
Article in International journal of obesity (2005), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
objectivesObesity is associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) and its risk factors in observational studies. This two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study investigated the effect of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) mass on coronary artery disease (CAD), myocardial infarction (MI) and heart failure (HF).
methodsGenetic variants (220 SNPs, P < 5 × 10
resultsOur results showed that genetically predicted higher VAT mass was associated with increased risk of CAD (odds ratio [OR] 1.57, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.44-1.71; P = 7.62 × 10
conclusionThis MR study suggests that genetic determinants of VAT mass are causally associated with CAD, MI and HF.
