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

Considering the potential links between breast cancer (BC), selective estrogen receptor modulators, and meningioma in previous epidemiology studies, this study aimed to investigate them through the Mendelian randomization approach. We extracted instrumental variables (IVs) of different subtypes of BC from the largest genome-wide association study. Gene targets of SERMs were obtained from the Drug-Gene Interaction Database. Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis applied inverse variance weighted approach to evaluate causality. A series of sensitivity analyses and reverse MR were used to evaluate the stability of the MR results. Genetically determined estrogen receptor (ER) positive BC, luminal A-like breast cancer (OR 1.17, 95% CI 1.04 to 1.32, p = 0.01), and luminal B-like breast cancer (OR 1.20, 95% CI 1.04 to 1.37, p = 0.009) were associated with an increased odds ratio of meningioma (OR 1.18, 95% CI 1.05 to 1.32, p = 0.005). Among SERM-targeted genes, CYP2D6 (OR 1.37, 95% CI 1.23 to 1.54, p = 4.15 × 10
