1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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: The association between gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and hypertensive disorders in pregnancy (HDP) is unclear. A bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was conducted to investigate the causal association between GERD and HDP using the public databases. Methods: Four methods were applied in our MR analysis, including the inverse variance weighting (IVW), MR-Egger, weighted median, and weighted mode. A series of sensitivity analyses were conducted to affirm the stability and reliability of the results. Results: IVW analysis showed a potential causal association between GERD and pre-eclampsia (PE) (OR = 1.20, Conclusion: The results demonstrated that GERD exhibited a causal relationship with a high risk of HDP, which contributed to the ongoing discourse of GERD in the etiology of HDP.
