Irritability and risk of lung cancer: a Mendelian randomization and mediation analysis.
Article in Journal of cancer research and clinical oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThere is no research to prove the association between irritability and lung cancer, our study performed a Mendelian randomization (MR) approach to elucidate the causal relationship of irritability with lung cancer risk.
methodsGenome-wide association studies (GWAS) data of irritability, lung cancer and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) were downloaded from a public database for two-sample MR analysis. Independent single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with irritability and GERD were selected as instrumental variables (IVs). Inverse variance weighting (IVW) and weighted median method were used to analyze causality.
resultsThere is an association between irritability and lung cancer risk (OR
conclusionsThis study confirmed the causal effect between irritability and lung cancer through MR analysis, and found that GERD played an essential mediating role in this relationship, which can partly indicate the role of the "inflammation-cancer transformation" process in lung cancer.
