Mendelian Randomization Analysis Supports Causal Effect of Type II Diabetes Mellitus on Onychomycosis.
Article in Skin appendage disorders, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: Onychomycosis is common among adults with diabetes mellitus (DM). We used two-sample Mendelian randomization to estimate the causal effect of genetic risk for DM on onychomycosis and tinea skin infections in the All of Us Research Program. Methods: Onychomycosis and tinea corporis, pedis, manus, and cruris cases were identified using electronic health record data, and genetic instrument variables and summary statistics were collected from a type II DM (T2DM) genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis. Results: Inverse variance weighted regression showed positive effect of T2DM genetic risk on onychomycosis (beta = 0.135, Conclusions: Our results suggest that T2DM has a positive causal effect on onychomycosis but not tinea skin infection risk. As onychomycosis may impair occupational function and increase risk for secondary soft tissue infections, patients with diabetes should be screened for onychomycosis and counseled on mitigating infection risk.
