Dietary habits and stroke: A Mendelian randomization analysis.
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
Stroke is one of the diseases with a high incidence rate in the world, which endangers human health. Existing studies suggest an association between diet and stroke, but whether there is a causal relationship has not been clarified. With 9 common dietary habits as exposures and stroke as the outcome, we explored the causal relationship between dried fruit intake and stroke. We used 5 Mendelian randomization methods and 3 methods for sensitivity analysis. The 3 dietary habits obtained with the inverse-variance weighted method were associated with stroke. The results are as follows: alcohol usually taken with meals (odds ratio [OR] = 0.57, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.37-0.79, P = .007), dried fruit intake (OR = 0.51, 95% CI = 0.37-0.70, P = 3.69 × 10-5), and cheese intake (OR = 0.73, 95% CI = 0.58-0.92, P = .002). The relationship between dietary alcohol and cheese intake, and the finding that dried fruit intake can reduce the risk of stroke, have significant implications for the prevention and management of stroke.
