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

backgroundAnxiety and depression are widespread mental health disorders with substantial global influence. dietary exposures have been proposed as modifiable risk factors of these diseases, but their causal relationships remain uncertain. This study aimed to elucidate the causal effects of specific dietary exposures on the risks of anxiety and depression using Mendelian randomisation (MR).

methodsTwo-sample MR analysis was performed using summary-level data from large-scale genome-wide association studies of European populations. Nineteen dietary exposures, including beef, cereals, tea, non-oily fish and unsalted peanuts, were analysed. Causal estimates were obtained using the inverse variance weighted (IVW) method, MR-Egger regression and weighted median approach. Sensitivity analyses were conducted to assess heterogeneity and horizontal pleiotropy.

resultsHigh consumption of beef (odds ratio [OR] = 0.95, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.9182-0.9854, p < 0.01) and cereals (OR = 0.99, 95% CI: 0.9723-0.9982, p = 0.026) was associated with a reduced risk of depression, Whereas high tea consumption (OR = 1.01, 95% CI: 1.0009-1.0176, adjusted p = 0.029) was linked to an increased risk. Regarding anxiety disorders, non-oily fish intake (OR = 1.01, 95% CI: 1.0024-1.0121, p < 0.01) was positively associated with this risk, whereas unsalted peanuts (OR = 0.98, 95% CI: 0.9527-0.9986, p = 0.038) showed a protective effect.

conclusionsThis MR study provides genetic evidence supporting the role of specific dietary exposures in influencing the risks of anxiety and depression. The findings highlight the potential of targeted dietary interventions in the prevention and management of mental health disorders.
