Notes: NSNP is the number of single nucleotide polymorphism; The odds ratio (OR) is per 1 SD increase; 95%LCI is the lower limit of 95% confidence interval; 95%UCI is the upper limit of 95% confidence interval; P value is the p-value of OR; Pheterogeneity is the p-value of Cochrane's Q value in heterogeneity test; Ppleiotropy is the p-value of MR-Egger intercept.
