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

This study investigated the causal relationships between cytokines, chemokines, neutrophil-related factors, sleep traits, and CMR-derived cardiovascular phenotypes using two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. The primary method employed was inverse variance weighted (IVW) analysis, supplemented with MR-Egger and weighted median analyses. We identified 24 significant associations, excluding the SNP rs2001329 related to sleep duration. Notably, CXCL9 showed a strong association with right ventricular peak atrial filling rate (OR = 587.45), while IL-5 was associated with right ventricular stroke volume (OR = 2.45). IL-7 and IL-18 significantly impacted four CMR-derived phenotypes each. Left ventricular ejection fraction was frequently affected by IL-1β, IL-18, CCL2, CXCL9, and NETs. Sensitivity analyses indicated minimal pleiotropy or heterogeneity except for sleep duration. This research highlights crucial cytokines and chemokines that modulate cardiac function through their relationships with cardiovascular phenotypes.
