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

Background: Recent studies suggest a link between immune-related processes and type 2 diabetes (T2DM), yet the specific genes and mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to explore the mechanistic relationship by integrating multi-omics data. Methods: We identified T2DM-associated candidate genes through summary data-based Mendelian Randomization (SMR) and colocalization analyses using immune-related QTL data and large-scale GWAS data. We then functionally validated key genes in a high-fat diet-induced T2DM mouse model, assessing gene expression and the therapeutic effects of electroacupuncture (EA) using RT-qPCR. Results: SMR and colocalization analyses identified Conclusions: Integrating large-scale human genetic data with
