RCTs & MR agree that HDL cholesterol does not protect against CHD pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32244255/ Now non-linear MR simply recapitulates the non-causal observational association pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38364900/ Can MR be made useful again? Hear tomorrow 4.30pm details at forms.office.com/pages/response…

4/n I'll be talking in person and on-line about the hole Mendelian randomization is in, and what can be done to dig it out from this, to become useful again @UCLHealthPublic 25th April 4pm UK time, registration required at forms.office.com/pages/response…
THE most impactful proponent of Mendelian randomization methods has pumped the breaks, acknowledging his concerns that MR can generate spurious relationships & overstated causal conclusions, especially in nonlinear associations. TLDR: 🤌obesity still not protective for mortality

Too many things are called “shocking”here, but this evidence of the deep reach of corporate power in persecuting a brave GP engaged in attempting to improve our public health future merits the term. Dr Sarah Benn deserves any public support she can get

@mendel_random @GrainOfScience @OACJournal @ArthritisRes @ACR_Journals @mendel_random @JonTobias1 and I are planning a letter to JBMR about a dodgy MR study they’ve just published. But I think there is a wider problem in the omics fields - MR is the tip of the iceberg as there are many more dodgy omics papers that aren’t MR. Eg DEG based papers
Economics nerds I don't normally quote a Professor at the Cato institute but this is a rather fun example of why economics is now so detached - possibly than it has ever been. I fear Alfred Marshall, who (unlike me 😱) could do the maths would have been appalled.
