The Association Between Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Influencing Factors: A Mediation Mendelian Randomization Study.
Article in Food science & nutrition, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Previous studies showed that irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) share a common pathogenic mechanism. However, research on links between immune cells, plasma metabolites, inflammatory factors, and gut microbiota and these diseases remains limited. This study aimed to probe causal relationships between these factors and IBS/GAD using Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. Among factors associated with IBS, 25 gut microbial taxa, 103 plasma metabolites, 7 inflammatory factors, and 42 immune cell characteristics had causal relationships with IBS. Among factors associated with GAD, 35 gut microbial taxa, 72 plasma metabolites, 6 inflammatory factors, and 43 immune cell characteristics had causal links to GAD. IBS was appointed as a risk factor for GAD [odds ratio (OR) = 1.328;
