^aThe MR–Egger intercept quantifies the effect of directional pleiotropy (P < 0.05, which means possible directional pleiotropy)
^bThe Cochrane—Q test quantifies the effect of heterogeneity (P < 0.05, which means possible heterogeneity, thus prioritizing “random—IVW” methods)
^cMR-PRESSO test quantifies the effect of horizontal pleiotropy (P < 0.05, which means possible horizontal pleiotropy)
^dMR-Steiger directionality test to assess the potential causal relationship (FALSE, which means an inverse causal link)
