Causal Influences of Micronutrients on Anxiety: Insights From an Observational and Mendelian Randomization Analysis.
Article in Food science & nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
An increasing number of studies have begun to focus on the role of micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) in mental disorders, including anxiety. Previous observational and clinical studies have suggested a relationship between micronutrients and anxiety, yet the causal link between them remains unclear. We aimed to detect the potential causal relationships between genetically predicted supplementation with vitamins (including vitamins A, B, B6, B12, C, D, E, folate, and multivitamins), minerals (including calcium, iron, magnesium, selenium, and zinc), and anxiety through Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis, the Bayesian colocalization analysis, and real-world observational data.
