The putative association of IL-20 levels on rotator cuff tears. (A) A forest plot delineated the associations of SNPs associated with IL-20 levels on rotator cuff tears, highlighting individual SNP contributions. (B) Analysis using a funnel plot indicated minimal heterogeneity within this MR study, suggesting a uniform distribution of the effects across studies. (C) The leave-one-out method revealed that the removal of individual SNPs does not significantly alter the overall conclusions, indicating robustness in our findings. (D) Scatter plots illustrating the genetic associations between IL-20 levels and rotator cuff tears were used to visually assess the correlation between genetic predispositions and disease outcomes.
