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: Observational studies have indicated that immune dysregulation in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) primarily involves intestinal-derived immune cells. However, the causal relationship between peripheral blood immune cells and PSC remains insufficiently understood. Methods: A bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was implemented to determine the causal effect between PBC and 731 immune cells. All datasets were extracted from a publicly available genetic database. The standard inverse variance weighted (IVW) method was selected as the main method for the causality analysis. Cochran's Results: In forward MR analysis, the expression ratios of CD11c on CD62L+ myeloid DC (OR = 1.136, 95% CI = 1.032-1.250, Conclusion: Our study indicated the evidence of causal effects between PSC and immune cells, which may provide a potential foundation for future diagnosis and treatment of PSC.
