Dietary habits and risk of diabetic kidney disease: a two-sample and multivariate Mendelian randomization study.
Article in Renal failure, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveWe explored the causal relationship between certain dietary habits and the risk of developing diabetic kidney disease (DKD) using two-sample Mendelian randomization and multivariate Mendelian randomization. RESEARCH DESIGN AND
methodsThis study is based on pooled data from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 83 dietary habits in a European population. We performed a two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis using GAWS data on diabetic nephropathy in a European population. Validation was then performed against positive results (
resultsThis study showed causal relationships between 18 dietary habits and the risk of developing DKD. After validation, causal relationships were found between the risk of DKD and two dietary habits: abstaining from sugar consumption (OR 2.86; 95%CI 1.35, 6.08;
conclusionsOur MR results suggest a causal relationship between never eating sugar and an increased risk of developing DKD. Therefore, people with diabetes need a reasonable range of sugar intake.
