Associations between type 1 diabetes and autoimmune skin diseases: Mendelian randomization analysis.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) may be associated with various autoimmune diseases, but the causal relationship between T1DM and autoimmune skin diseases is not yet clear. Methods: The summary statistical data on T1DM and nine autoimmune skin diseases in European populations were extracted for mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. Subsequently, the analysis was replicated in East Asian populations. In the MR estimation, inverse variance-weighted (IVW), MR-Egger, weighted median, simple mode, and weighted mode methods were utilized. Outliers were excluded using MR-PRESSO, and horizontal pleiotropy was assessed with MR-Egger. Additionally, a multivariable MR analysis was conducted to investigate whether T1DM has an independent effect on autoimmune skin diseases after adjusting for potential confounders. Results: In Europe, the MR estimated based on IVW method indicated a causal association between genetically determined T1DM and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) (OR = 1.38, 95%CI: 1.26-1.50, p＜0.01), rheumatoid arthritis (RA) (OR = 1.15, 95%CI: 1.05-1.25, p＜0.01), as well as multiple sclerosis (MS) (OR = 1.17, 95%CI: 1.01-1.36, p = 0.04), but there is no association between T1DM and atopic dermatitis (AD), vitiligo, lichen planus (LP), hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), alopecia areata (AA) and systemic sclerosis (SS). After adjusting for time spent watching television, body mass index, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and body fat percentage, we found a causal relationship between T1DM and SLE (OR = 1.29, 95%CI: 1.16-1.44, p < 0.01), RA (OR = 1.28, 95%CI: 1.20-1.38 p < 0.01) and MS (OR = 1.11, 95%CI: 1.04-1.18, p < 0.01). Then, no genetic causal association was found between TIDM and SLE, and AD in East Asia. These results didn't exhibit horizontal pleiotropy, and "leave-one-out" analysis demonstrated result stability. Conclusion: Our MR research indicates a causal relationship between T1DM and SLE, RA, and MS in Europe. However, no causal relationship between T1DM and SLE has been observed in East Asia. Therefore, it is important to regularly monitor relevant immunological markers of SLE, RA, and MS in T1DM patients and take preventive measures.
