The Effects of Physical Activity on Functional Dyspepsia: A Mendelian Randomization and Randomized Controlled Study.
Article in Journal of neurogastroenterology and motility, 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
Background/Aims: : The relationship between physical activity (PA) and functional dyspepsia (FD) remains unclear due to a lack of robust evidence. We conducted a Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to assess potential genetic associations, followed by a randomized controlled trial (RCT) assessing the therapeutic effects of moderate-intensity exercise in FD patients. Methods: : In the MR analysis, genetic variants associated with PA traits from genome-wide association studies were analyzed. For the RCT, 260 FD patients were randomized to moderate-intensity exercise intervention or a control group. The primary endpoint was the adequate relief rate of dyspeptic symptoms. Results: : Using MR, a potential inverse association of strenuous sports activity against the development of FD was estimated (inverse variance weighte OR = 0.92, 95% CI = 0.88-0.98, Conclusions: : PA, particularly moderate-intensity exercise, may reduce the risk of FD.
