Genetic Association of Lipids and Lipid-Lowering Drug Target Genes With Atopic Dermatitis: A Drug Target Mendelian Randomization Study.
Article in Health science reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Background and Aims: Several observational studies have reported inconsistent associations between dyslipidaemia, stains use and atopic dermatitis (AD). Nevertheless, the available data on the effects of -C-lowering as well as TG-lowering drugs remain inconclusive and limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate the causal association of lipid traits and long-term use of lipid-lowering drugs on AD risk. Methods: Drug-targeted Mendelian randomization analyses were performed in European ancestry. Pooled statistics on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride and AD were extracted from large genome-wide association studies datasets. Instrumental variables located in and around lipid-lowering target genes were used as proxies for therapeutic inhibition of these target genes. Inverse-variance-weighted approach was applied as the primary analysis. Results: We explored the role of seven lipid-lowering target genes in AD, among which genetically proxied Niemann-Pick C1-like 1 inhibition, a target of LDL-C-lowering drugs, was associated with an increased risk of AD (odds ratio, 3.03; 95% CI, 1.36-6.75; Conclusion: We found no genetic support for the repurposing of seven lipid-lowering drug targets for the prevention of AD. However, pharmacovigilance of AD risk in Niemann-Pick C1-like 1 inhibitor users may be warranted.
