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

objectiveTo investigate the causal relationship between minerals and vitamins and acute and chronic tubulointerstitial nephritis by Mendelian randomization.

methodsWe selected fourteen minerals and vitamins from the GWAS database and acute tubulointerstitial nephritis and chronic tubulointerstitial nephritis from the Finnish database. Minerals and vitamins were first analyzed by two-sample Mendelian randomization for acute and chronic tubulointerstitial nephritis. The effects of minerals and vitamins on common acute and chronic tubulointerstitial nephritis were further explored by multivariate Mendelian randomization.

resultsamong fourteen minerals and vitamins by two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis, there was genetic causality for vitamin B6 and vitamin D on acute tubulointerstitial nephritis, and the results were vitamin B6 (β = -0.641; P = 0.049; OR = 0.527; 95% CI: 0.278-0.998); vitamin D (β = -3.165; P = 0.040; OR = 0.042; 95% CI: 0.002-0.861). Fourteen minerals and vitamins were not genetically causally associated with chronic tubulointerstitial nephritis. The presence of vitamin B6 was then analyzed by a multivariate Mendelian randomization study to independently affect acute tubulointerstitial nephritis and showed a negative correlation (P = 0.010; 95% CI: 0.021-0.159).

conclusionWe genetically predicted the possible influence of minerals and vitamins on acute and chronic tubulointerstitial nephritis. Vitamin B6 deficiency in vivo was found to adversely affect acute and chronic tubulointerstitial nephritis. This suggests that we pay clinical attention to the different effects that nutrients such as minerals and vitamins bring to acute and chronic tubulointerstitial nephritis. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
