Plasma metabolites and risk of myocardial infarction: a bidirectional Mendelian randomization study.
Article in Journal of geriatric cardiology : JGC, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
backgroundMyocardial infarction (MI) is a critical cardiovascular event with multifaceted etiology, involving several genetic and environmental factors. It is essential to understand the function of plasma metabolites in the development of MI and unravel its complex pathogenesis.
methodsThis study employed a bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) approach to investigate the causal relationships between plasma metabolites and MI risk. We used genetic instruments as proxies for plasma metabolites and MI and conducted MR analyses in both directions to assess the impact of metabolites on MI risk and vice versa. In addition, the large-scale genome-wide association studies datasets was used to identify genetic variants associated with plasma metabolite (1400 metabolites) and MI (20,917 individuals with MI and 440,906 individuals without MI) susceptibility. Inverse variance weighted was the primary method for estimating causal effects. MR estimates are expressed as beta coefficients or odds ratio (OR) with 95% CI.
resultsWe identified 14 plasma metabolites associated with the occurrence of MI (
conclusionsOur bidirectional MR study identified 14 plasma metabolites associated with the occurrence of MI, among which 13 plasma metabolites have not been reported previously. These findings provide valuable insights for the early diagnosis of MI and potential therapeutic targets.
