Causal association between B cell count and psoriasis using two-sample Mendelian randomization.
Article in Journal of cellular and molecular medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
To investigate the causality between B cell count and psoriasis by Mendelian randomization (MR). Collected B cell count and psoriasis data from IEU Open GWAS Project. Employed inverse variance weighting (IVW), MR-Egger, WM, weighted mode for analysis, ensuring result robustness. Assessed horizontal pleiotropy with MR-Egger, detected outliers using MR-PRESSO and examined instrumental variables heterogeneity with Cochran's Q-test. The IVW method suggested an association between a genetically predicted memory B cell count and the risk of psoriasis vulgaris. IVW results also showed no causality between other exposure factors and the corresponding outcomes. Also, the global test of MR-PRESSO analysis showed a significant association between a genetically predicted transitional absolute B cell count and the lower risk of psoriasis vulgaris. MR-Egger regression showed that horizontal pleiotropy did not influence the analysis results. We found that memory B cell absolute counts are associated with a lower risk of psoriasis. These data further elucidate the role of memory B cells in psoriasis and provide new options for psoriasis treatment.
