Mendelian randomization study on the association of circulating ketone bodies with lung cancer and respiratory diseases.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
The liver produces various ketone bodies (KBs) including 3-Hydroxybutyrate (3-OHB), acetoacetate (AcAc), and acetone, with 3-OHB being the major component. Previous studies have shown that KBs protect against respiratory diseases; however, there is no evidence of a genetic link. To avoid biases existing in traditional observational studies, a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was carried out to investigate genetic causation and novel therapeutic uses for KBs. This study used databases from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and single nucleotide polymorphisms as instrumental variables for KBs from a recently published metabonomics study (n = 121,584) and respiratory diseases [lung cancer, n = 85,716; asthma, n = 127,669; chronic bronchitis, n = 450,422; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), n = 468,475; FEV
