Association between wide-ranging food intake and Parkinson's disease: a comprehensive mendelian randomization study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. 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
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder influenced by both genetic and environmental factors, including dietary habits. Despite considerable research, the relationship between food intake and PD risk remains poorly understood. Here, we conducted a comprehensive Mendelian randomization analysis to investigate the association between a wide spectrum of food intake and PD risk. Utilizing data from large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and dietary databases, we constructed genetic instruments for various dietary factors, including fruit, vegetable, meat, fish, dairy, and grain intake, among others, totaling 170 different food items. Using multivariable inverse variance weighted methods, we found a causal relationship between Mozzarella intake and Parkinson's disease (odds ratio [OR] = 9.83, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.52-38.34, P-value < 0.05). Additionally, a causal relationship was observed between Pancake intake and Parkinson's disease (odds ratio [OR] = 0.20, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.07-0.59, P-value < 0.05). Furthermore, our reverse Mendelian randomization analysis and multivariable Mendelian randomization analysis provided further support for these findings. To our knowledge, we are the first to investigate the causal relationship between the broad intake of 170 different food items and Parkinson's disease. Our study reveals the causal relationships between Pancake intake, and Mozzarella intake with Parkinson's disease.
