Causal Relationships between Lymphocyte Subsets and Risk of Coronary Artery Disease: A Two-Sample Mendelian Randomization Study.
Article in Reviews in cardiovascular medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Currently, the causal relationship between lymphocyte subsets and coronary artery disease (CAD) remains unclear. Therefore, we utilized Mendelian randomization (MR) to assess the association between lymphocyte subsets and CAD. Methods: We performed a two-sample MR analysis using publicly available genome-wide association studies (GWAS) datasets. The primary method of analysis to comprehensively evaluate causal effects was the inverse variance-weighted (IVW) method. The four additional MR approaches were MR-Egger, weighted median, simple mode, and weighted mode. Sensitivity analysis incorporated Cochran's Q and MR-Egger intercept tests to identify residual heterogeneity and potential horizontal pleiotropy, respectively. The MR-PRESSO distortion test was applied to identify potential pleiotropic outliers. Leave-one-out analysis confirmed that no single single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) significantly affected the MR estimate. We conducted reverse MR analysis to investigate the impact of variables correlated with outcomes in forward MR analysis. Results: The IVW method revealed a significant positive association between B cell count and CAD (odds ratio (OR) = 1.08 (95% CI: 1.04, 1.11), Conclusions: Our study suggests that a higher absolute B cell count is linked to an increased risk of CAD and MI.
