Fig. 3: Effects of six potential causal proteins on stroke outcomes.

MR analyses of the effect of proteins on stroke outcomes. The squares are the causal estimates on the OR scale, and the whiskers represent the 95% confidence intervals for these ORs. N_SNPs: number of SNPs used for the estimation of the causal effects in this plot. P values were determined from the inverse-variance-weighted two-sample MR method. Statistical heterogeneity was assessed using the I2 statistic. OR odds ratio, CD40 B cell surface antigen CD40, TFPI tissue factor pathway inhibitor, MMP12 matrix metallopeptidase 12, IL6RA interleukin 6 receptor subunit alpha, TMPRSS5 transmembrane serine protease 5, CD6 T-cell differentiation antigen CD6.
