Causal relationship between mental illness and venous thromboembolism: a Mendelian randomization study.
Article in European archives of psychiatry and clinical neuroscience, 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
Previous findings on the relationship between mental disorders and venous thromboembolism (VTE) are controversial, and the precise causal relationship remains unclear. This study investigated the association between mental disorders and VTE based on the analysis of pooled data from large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Mendelian randomization (MR) was used to assess the causal relationships between bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and VTE, with inverse variance weighting (IVW) as the primary statistical method. Furthermore, the F-statistic checks instrument stability; Cochran’s Q assesses heterogeneity; and the weighted median, MR-Egger, and leave-one-out methods were applied to evaluate sensitivity and pleiotropy. We found that genetically predicted bipolar disorder was significantly associated with VTE (IVW: odds ratio [OR] = 0.833, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.704–0.985, P = 0.032). In addition, MR using the IVW method revealed a significant association between schizophrenia and VTE (IVW: OR = 0.917, 95% CI 0.869–0.9685, P = 0.002). Complementary MR methods and sensitivity analyses further confirmed the reliability of the MR findings. Overall, the results of this study demonstrated the causal relationship among bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and VTE. Further research is essential to validate these findings and elucidate their causal mechanisms.
