Genetically predicted the causal relationship between gut microbiota and the risk of polymyositis/dermatomyositis: a Mendelian randomization analysis.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Introduction: Observational studies suggest associations between gut microbiota and polymyositis (PM) and dermatomyositis (DM), but causal relationships are unclear. We investigate the causal effects of gut microbiota on PM and DM, providing insights hoping to provide insights for future treatment and prevention. Methods: Summary statistics of gut microbiota were obtained from a multi-ethnic Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) meta-analysis, including 119 taxa from 18,340 Europeans. PM/DM statistics were extracted from GWAS analyses. Mendelian randomization (MR) with IVW, MR-Egger, and weighted median methods was performed. Sensitivity analyses addressed heterogeneity and pleiotropy. Of the 119 bacterial genera studied, six showed causal links. Results: Discussion: We establish causal relationships between
