Genetically Predicted Sarcopenia Traits and the Risk of Barrett's Esophagus.
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 1 paper.
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
A growing body of cohort research suggests a link between sarcopenia and Barrett's esophagus (BE); however, a definitive causal connection has yet to be established. Consequently, this study aims to evaluate the potential causal association between sarcopenia and BE. We obtained data on single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) linked to appendicular lean mass, hand grip strength, and walking speed, as well as outcome data related to Barrett's esophagus, from publicly available genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Utilizing these datasets, we conducted a multivariable Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to explore potential causal associations. Univariable MR revealed significant inverse associations between sarcopenia-related traits and BE risk. Specifically, higher appendicular lean mass, stronger grip strength, and faster walking pace were each associated with reduced BE risk (all
