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

Inflammatory bowel disease, including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, is associated with various comorbidities, such as allergic diseases like allergic rhinitis. However, the causal relationship and potential metabolic mechanisms remain unclear. This study investigates the association between inflammatory bowel disease and allergic rhinitis, focusing on potential metabolic mediation through Mendelian randomization analysis. A two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis was conducted using datasets from European populations to evaluate the relationships between inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and allergic rhinitis. Additionally, 212 potential mediating metabolites were analyzed to explore metabolic mechanisms. Horizontal pleiotropy was excluded, and mediation analysis identified specific metabolites mediating these effects. Results revealed a significant association between inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease, and allergic rhinitis, while ulcerative colitis showed no significant impact. Further analysis confirmed a unidirectional causal relationship from inflammatory bowel disease and Crohn's disease to allergic rhinitis. Metabolite analysis identified 91 significant metabolites, with 67 showing consistent effects. Notably, erythritol, 1-myristoyl-2-arachidonoyl-GPC, and the 3-methyl-2-oxovalerate to 4-methyl-2-oxopentanoate ratio exhibited significant mediation effects. These findings highlight a significant causal link between inflammatory bowel disease, particularly Crohn's disease, and allergic rhinitis, mediated by specific metabolites, offering new insights and potential targets for clinical interventions.
