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

To investigate the link between Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA) and breast cancer (BC) subtypes using Mendelian randomization (MR) and identify potential immunological mediators. We used MR with genetic variants as instruments, leveraging genome-wide association studies data from Europeans to assess the relationship between LADA and BC subtypes. The study evaluated the mediating role of immune cells and employed methods like inverse variance weighted, MR Egger, and MR-PRESSO to ensure robust results. LADA showed a negative association with overall BC, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive BC, and estrogen receptor-positive BC. The FinnGen Biobank replication and meta-analysis confirmed these inverse relationships. CD11c on CD62L+ myeloid dendritic cells mediated the relationship between LADA and BC risk. Our study indicated a negative association between LADA and BC development, especially for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive and estrogen receptor-positive subtypes, with CD11c on CD62L+ myeloid dendritic cells as a key mediator. These findings suggest potential mechanisms for LADA's influence on BC risk and highlight opportunities for targeted prevention and treatment.
