From: Mendelian randomization analysis suggests no causal influence of gastroesophageal reflux disease on the susceptibility and prognosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

Fig. 2

Scatterplots and forest plots of associations between GERD-associated SNPs and susceptibility to IPF in discovery cohort. Scatterplots of SNP effects on GERD and susceptibility to IPF before removing SNPs related to confounding factors and outliers (a), and after removal (b). Forest plots of individual and combined SNP MR-estimated effect size for GERD on the susceptibility to IPF before removing SNPs related to confounding factors and outliers (c), and after removal (d). Abbreviations: MR: Mendelian randomization; IVW: inverse variance weighted; GERD: gastroesophageal reflux disease; IPF: idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis; SNP: single nucleotide polymorphism
