The association between basal metabolic rate and ischemic stroke: a Mendelian randomization study.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Objective: This study aims to elucidate the potential impact of basal metabolic rate on ischemic stroke at the genetic prediction level through a two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis. Methods: Using summary data from genome-wide association studies, we obtained information on basal metabolic rate and ischemic stroke from a large-scale genome-wide association study. MR analysis used inverse variance weighting, weighted median, MR-Egger, simple mode, and weighted estimation. Sensitivity analyses, including the MR-Egger method, MR-PRESSO, Cochran's Results: Genetic susceptibility to basal metabolic rate was significantly associated with ischemic stroke in multiple models, including the inverse variance weighting model ( Conclusion: The MR analysis suggests a positive correlation between basal metabolic rate and ischemic stroke.
