Exploration of the association between 91 inflammatory proteins and immune thrombocytopenia: a two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis.
Article in International journal of hematology, 2025. 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
objectiveThis study aimed to explore the association between 91 circulating inflammatory proteins and immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) using Mendelian randomization (MR).
methodsData from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on 91 inflammatory proteins were aggregated from the Olink Target platform, involving 14,824 participants. ITP data were sourced from the Integrative Epidemiology Unit OPEN GWAS project, which included 675 ITP patients and 488,749 controls. Mendelian randomization analysis was primarily conducted using inverse-variance weighting (IVW), supplemented by MR-Egger, weighted median, simple mode, and weighted mode. Pleiotropy and heterogeneity of the instrumental variables were assessed using the MR-Egger-intercept test and Cochran's Q test, with results visualized through scatter plots, funnel plots, and leave-one-out plots.
resultsThe IVW method indicated an association between six specific circulating inflammatory proteins and ITP. Four proteins (CCL4, CXCL9, IL-12B, and SCF) were positively associated with ITP, while two proteins (IL-1α, TRANCE) showed a negative correlation.
conclusionThe findings suggest a potential link between circulating inflammatory proteins and ITP, providing insights for future therapeutic strategies and biomarker identification.
