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

purposeThis study aimed to explore the potential causal relationship between dietary habits and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD).

methodsUsing the inverse-variance weighted method, a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was performed to investigate the causal relationship between 22 dietary habits and GERD. The stability and reliability of the results were assessed using leave-one-out analysis, heterogeneity tests, and tests for horizontal pleiotropy based on the effect measure odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI).

resultsThe results of the MR analysis indicated a positive association between alcohol drinking (OR=1.472; 95% CI, 1.331 to 1.629; p<1.0×10

conclusionAlcohol and salt added to food raised GERD risk, while bread intake, cereal intake, cheese intake, intake of certain dried fruits and certain fresh fruits, and oily fish lowered it. Our study affirms the potential causal link between these diets and GERD, offering insights into targeted prevention strategies.
