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: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease with high prevalence. Some observational studies have shown that patients with osteoarthritis often have co-existing cardiovascular diseases (CVD) such as atrial fibrillation (AF) and coronary atherosclerosis (CA). However, there is still a lack of stronger evidence confirming the association between osteoarthritis and cardiovascular disease. In this study, we used a bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization study to investigate the relationship between OA with AF and CA. Methods: OA data from the UK Biobank and arcOGEN (Arthritis Research UK Osteoarthritis Genetics, a study that aimed to find genetic determinants of osteoarthritis and elucidate the genetic architecture of the disease) integration were selected for the study ( Results: We found that OA and AF were positively associated [IVW: OR (95% CI): 1.11 (1.04, 1.19), Conclusion: This research confirms that OA is a risk factor for AF, and there is a mutual protective factor between OA and CA. However, further studies are still necessary to elucidate the underlying mechanisms.
