Correlation between obstructive sleep apnea and cerebral small vessel disease: a mendelian randomization study.
Article in Genes & genomics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundWhether obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is causally associated with an increased risk of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) remains controversial. We conducted a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study to clarify the causal relationship between OSA and CSVD risk.
methodsSingle-nucleotide polymorphisms associated with OSA at the genome-wide significance level (P < 5 × 10
resultsGenetically predicted OSA was not associated with LIs (odds ratio [OR] = 1.10, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.86-1.40), WMHs (OR = 0.94, 95% CI = 0.83-1.07), FA (OR = 1.33, 95% CI = 0.75-2.33), MD (OR = 0.93, 95% CI = 0.58-1.47), CMBs (OR = 1.29, 95% CI = 0.86-1.94), mixed CMBs (OR = 1.17, 95% CI = 0.63-2.17), and lobar CMBs (OR = 1.15, 95% CI = 0.75-1.76) in IVW method. The results of the sensitivity analyses were generally consistent with the major analyses.
conclusionsThis MR study does not support causal associations between OSA and the risk of CSVD in individuals of European ancestry. These findings need to be further validated in randomized controlled trials, larger cohort studies, and MR studies based on larger GWASs.
