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

Erythritol is a widely used low-calorie sugar substitute, but its relationship with cerebrovascular risk remains uncertain. We investigated the association between genetically predicted erythritol levels and ischemic stroke and explored stroke-related molecular features using an integrative bioinformatics framework. Two-sample and multivariable Mendelian randomization were performed across cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic outcomes, followed by target prediction, enrichment and protein-protein interaction analyses, transcriptomic profiling, machine-learning feature selection, SHAP interpretation, immune-cell analysis, gene set variation analysis, and exploratory molecular docking. Genetically predicted erythritol showed the strongest association with stroke among the tested sweetener-related traits (OR = 1.246, 95% CI: 1.101-1.410,
