Association of Lactate with Risk of Cardiovascular Diseases: A Two-Sample Mendelian Randomization Study.
Article in Vascular health and risk management, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Purpose: Studies consistently show abnormally high levels of lactate acid in cardiovascular disease patients, suggested that targeting lactate production may serve as potential strategies for the treatment in the future. However, observational results may be subject to residual confounding and bias. Methods: This study used the dataset from GWAS database to examine confounding in epidemiologic associations between lactate and cardiovascular diseases. A genome-wide genetic association study using Mendelian randomization (MR) was performed from December 02, 2023 to January 15, 2024 to reduce confounding and enhance causal inference. Primary analysis was conducted using inverse-variance-weighted MR. All studies included patients predominantly of European ancestry. Results: The association between lactate and cardiovascular diseases, including 60801 cases from coronary heart disease, 7018 cases from myocardial infarction, 14334 cases from coronary atherosclerosis, 60620 cases from atrial fibrillation, 54358 cases from hypertension, 71 cases from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, 47309 cases from heart failure, 7055 cases from stroke, 7193 cases from cardioembolic ischemic stroke, 4373 cases from ischemic stroke caused by large vascular atherosclerosis, 2118 cases from pulmonary embolism, 1230 cases from peripheral artery disease, and 4620 cases from venous thromboembolism. Genetically predicted coronary atherosclerosis was associated with a higher risk of lactate level (OR = 1.950; 95% CI (0.087, 1.249); Conclusion: The findings of this study provide genetic evidence supporting a higher risk of lactate level only in coronary atherosclerosis and peripheral artery disease. However, no genetic association between lactate level and the other cardiovascular diseases.
