Genetically supported causality between gut microbiota, immune cells and morphine tolerance: a two-sample Mendelian randomization study.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background: Previous researches have suggested a significant connection between the gut microbiota/immune cells and morphine tolerance (MT), but there is still uncertainty regarding their causal relationship. Hence, our objective is to inverstigate this causal association and reveal the impact of gut microbiota/immune cells on the risk of developing MT using a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive analysis using genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics for gut microbiota, immune cells, and MT. The main approach employed was the inverse variance-weighted (IVW) method in MR. To assess horizontal pleiotropy and remove outlier single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), we utilized the Mendelian randomization pleiotropy residual sum and outlier (MR-PRESSO) technique as well as MR-Egger regression. Heterogeneity detection was performed using Cochran's Results: We discovered that 6 gut microbial taxa and 16 immune cells were causally related to MT ( Conclusion: Our research confirm the potential link between gut microbiota and immune cells with MT, shedding light on the mechanism by which gut microbiota and immune cells may contribute to MT. These findings lay the groundwork for future investigations into targeted prevention strategies.
