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

purposeThis study aimed to explore the causal associations between allergic diseases and neuropsychiatric disorders via bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.

methodsThis study employed three methodologies for MR analysis, primarily utilizing the inverse variance weighted approach, while supplementing with MR-Egger regression and the weighted median method. Sensitivity analyses encompassed Cochran's Q test, MR-PRESSO test, MR-Egger regression intercept and leave-one-out analysis, all serving to validate the reliability of the reported findings.

resultsThe forward MR analysis results indicated that bipolar disorder (BD) was positively correlated with allergic asthma (AA) (OR = 1.204) and allergic rhinitis (AR) (OR = 4.647), and depression was positively correlated with AA (OR = 1.141) and atopic dermatitis (AD) (OR = 1.103). The reverse MR analysis outcomes unveiled a negative association between allergic urticaria (AU) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) (OR = 0.780), a positive correlation between allergic conjunctivitis (AC) and tic disorder (TD) (OR = 1.020). Sensitivity analysis indicated an absence of significant heterogeneity or potential horizontal pleiotropy.

conclusionsAA and AD acted as risk factors for depression; AA and AR increased the risk of BD; ASD served as a protective factor for AU; TD was a risk factor for AC.
