Exploring the effects of occupational noise on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases: A Mendelian randomization study.
Article in Medicine, 2026. 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
Existing observational studies have demonstrated a potential association between exposure to noisy workplaces and the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. However, current research is still inconclusive and inconsistent. Therefore, we attempted to delineate the causal correlation between noisy workplace exposure and both cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in the European population by using Mendelian randomization analysis. The necessary data on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, as well as noisy workplaces, were all accessible from the genome-wide association studies database. The inverse variance weighted analysis served as the primary method, supplemented by a few sensitivity analysis methods to evaluate the robustness of our findings. Genetically inverse variance weighted methods revealed that suffering from occupational noise may be linked to a significantly increased incidence of hypertension (P = .005; odds ratio (OR): 1.049; 95% CI: 1.015-1.084), heart failure (P = .014; OR: 1.325; 95% CI: 1.058-1.660), and stroke (P = .019; OR: 1.010; 95% CI: 1.002-1.018). However, there was no causal relation between occupational noise and angina pectoris (P = .249; OR: 1.006; 95% CI: 0.996-1.017), acute myocardial infarction (P = .112; OR: 1.008; 95% CI: 0.998-1.018) as well as atrial fibrillation and flutter (P = .560; OR: 1.002; 95% CI: 0.995-1.009). In addition, sensitivity analysis techniques, including Cochran's Q test, leave-one-out analysis, as well as MR-Egger intercept, were employed to guarantee that our findings were more reliable and robust. The Mendelian randomization study suggested a genetically predicted causal involvement of working noise in the increased pathogenesis of hypertension, heart failure, and stroke, instead of acute myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, atrial fibrillation, and flutter.
