Impact of Alcohol Consumption on Lifespan: a Mendelian randomization study in Europeans.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Alcohol is widely used but recognized as a risk factor for several adverse health outcomes based on observational studies. How alcohol affects lifespan remains controversial, with no trial to make such an assessment available or likely. We conducted a Mendelian randomization (MR) to assess the effect of alcohol on lifespan in men and women, including a possible role of smoking and education. Strong (p < 5e
