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

Fig. 3

Scatterplots and forest plots of associations between GERD-associated SNPs and the prognosis of IPF in discovery cohort. Scatterplots of SNP effects on GERD and FVC (a), DLco (b), and TFS (c) in patients with IPF. Forest plots of individual and combined SNP MR-estimated effect size for GERD on FVC (d), DLco (e), and TFS (f). Abbreviations: MR: Mendelian randomization; IVW: inverse variance weighted; GERD: gastroesophageal reflux disease; FVC: forced vital capacity; DLco: diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide; TFS: transplantation-free survival; SNP: single nucleotide polymorphism
