Causal relationships of familial hypercholesterolemia with the risk of multiple vitamin deficiencies: a Mendelian randomization study.
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 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 familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and various vitamin deficiencies has not yet been elucidated. Therefore, this study investigated the cause-and-effect relationship between FH and the risk of multiple vitamin deficiencies in humans. Methods: Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was performed by extracting six datasets for FH, FH with ischemic heart disease (IHD), and vitamin deficiency (vitamin A, thiamine, other B-group vitamins, and vitamin D) from the FinnGen study, covering a total of 329,115; 316,290; 354,932; 354,949; 355,411 and 355,238 individuals, respectively. Results: FH was suggestively associated with higher odds of thiamine deficiency [inverse variance weighted odds ratio (OR Conclusion: FH was positively associated with increased risks of thiamine and vitamin D deficiencies, revealing a prospective and unfortunate complication of FH.
