1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Extensive researches illuminate a potential interplay between immune traits and psychiatric disorders. However, whether there is the causal relationship between the two remains an unresolved question. We conducted a two-sample bidirectional mendelian randomization by utilizing summary data of 731 immune cell traits from genome-wide association studies (GCST90001391-GCST90002121)) and 11 psychiatric disorders including attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety disorder, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), bipolar disorder (BIP), anorexia nervosa (AN), major depressive disorder (MDD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), Tourette syndrome (TS), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), schizophrenia (SCZ), and substance use disorders (cannabis) (SUD) from the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium (PGC). A total of four types of immune signatures (median fluorescence intensities [MFI], relative cell [RC], absolute cell [AC], and morphological parameters [MP]) were included. Effect estimates were obtained by using the inverse-variance-weighted (IVW), weighted median method, Mendelian randomization (MR)-Egger, and corrected by false discovery rate. Outliers were evaluated through the leave-one-out technique. Horizontal pleiotropy was assessed using the MR pleiotropy residual sum and outlier (MR-PRESSO) and MR-Egger intercept tests. MR analysis results suggested several immune cell subtypes were casually associated with psychiatric disorders. It was found that CD33br HLA DR + CD14 - AC (Myeloid cell, AC) may contribute to decreasing the risk of BIP (odds ratio [OR] = 0.9179, confidence interval [CI] = 0.8829-0.9542, P
