Daily habits, diseases, drugs and knee osteoarthritis: a two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis.
Article in Frontiers in genetics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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: The causal relationship between daily habits, diseases, drugs, and knee osteoarthritis (KOA) remains unclear. This study utilized a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) method to investigate the causal links between these factors and KOA, providing new insights for KOA prevention. Methods: SNPs strongly associated with exposure factors (daily habits, diseases, drugs) were extracted from publicly available genome-wide association study (GWAS) as instrumental variables (IVs). We then selected GWAS of KOA as the outcome, conducting a two-sample MR analysis. Results: Our findings revealed significant causal relationships between several factors and KOA. There was a notable association with time spent watching TV (OR = 4.038; 95% CI: 1.859-8.770; Conclusion: This comprehensive study underscores the significance of modifying certain habits to mitigate the risk of KOA. Additionally, the elevated risk of KOA among individuals with GERD, hypothyroidism, and those using thyroid preparations warrants attention. These results would be beneficial for clinical research and nursing education.
