Role of interleukin-18 in mediating the impacts of celiac disease on osteoporosis: a Mendelian randomization study.

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: Extensive observational data suggest a link between celiac disease (CeD) and osteoporosis, but the causality and mediating mechanism remain undetermined. Herein, we performed a Mendelian randomization (MR) study to address these concerns. Methods: We obtained the summary-level statistics for CeD from a large genome-wide association study (GWAS) comprising 4,533 cases and 10,750 controls of European ancestry. The GWAS data for osteoporosis-related traits and inflammatory cytokines were derived from the UK Biobank, FinnGen, IEU OpenGWAS database, or GWAS catalog. Two-sample MR with the inverse variance-weighted methods were employed to evaluate the genetic association between CeD and osteoporosis-related traits. The potential inflammatory mediators from CeD to osteoporosis were explored using two-step mediation analyses. Results: The primary MR analyses demonstrated causal associations between genetically predicted CeD and osteoporosis (odds ratio [OR]: 1.110, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.043-1.182, Conclusion: The present MR study reveals that CeD is associated with an increased risk of developing osteoporosis, which may be partly mediated by upregulation of interleukin-18.
