Causal relationship between ankylosing spondylitis and ocular inflammatory diseases: a Mendelian randomization study.
Article in Frontiers in genetics, 2024. 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
Background: Observational studies have shown an increased risk of ocular inflammatory diseases in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), but the genetically predicted association remains unclear. The aim of this study was to systematically assess the causal relationship between AS and ocular inflammatory diseases. Methods: We conducted a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to investigate the causal relationship between AS and several common ocular inflammatory diseases based on genome-wide association study (GWAS) data and public health data. Five methods, namely, inverse-variance weighted (IVW), MR-Egger, weighted median, weighted mode, and simple mode, were used. Sensitivity analysis was performed using MR-Egger intercept, Mendelian Randomization Pleiotropy RESidual Sum and Outlier (MR-PRESSO), Cochran's Q test, outlier methods, leave-one-out analysis, and funnel plots. Results: The MR analysis showed a significantly increased risk of uveitis (OR Conclusion: AS increases the genetically predicted risk for uveitis, iridocyclitis, scleritis, and episcleritis. No potential association of AS with keratitis and optic neuritis was found. It may provide clues for the prevention of AS complications.
