Odds ratios (ORs) with their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) represent the effect estimates on the risk of multiple non-psychiatric diseases of per 10% reduction in risk for psychiatric disorders by targeting 1-arachidonoylglycerophosphocholine (1-arachidonoyl-GPC), glycoproteins, glycine, docosahexaenoic acid, butyrylcarnitine, and sphingomyelins, respectively. An observed 2-sided P < 9.54 × 10-6 was considered as statistically significant. A 2-sided P<0.05 was considered as suggestive evidence for directional pleiotropy in the MR-Egger regression.
