Using integration of #randomized_trials and #genetic data, we found solid evidence that #blood_pressure reduction prevents future risk of #diabetes . Check out our paper in the Lancet bit.ly/3n7OzZ2 #pharma #JJDiabetesInst

Blood pressure drugs could prevent type 2 diabetes, study finds theguardian.com/society/2021/n…

No single model is perfect. Triangulation of evidence from genetic analysis adds further weight to the robustness and importance of our individual participant data #meta_analysis of randomised clinical #trials .Thank you Kazem Rahimi for your fantastic supervision #hypertension

Our study challenges the adoption of differential #bloodpressure thresholds, intensities or drugs in people with and without #diabetes. This study calls for the removal of specific BP thresholds when selecting people with diabetes for BP-lowering therapy. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Using a deep learning approach, a continuous relationship was found between BP and cardiovascular risk in patients with diabetes, without evidence of a J-shaped relationship. #deeplearning #diabetes Kazem Rahimi Shishir Rao DrDC @mamouei @miladnazarzadeh ahajrnls.org/3KuIbHk

Update on the non-linear MR quiz that was posed below - the paper it was from has now been formally retracted and a null version posted in its place thelancet.com/journals/landi…

Very informative paper! Just one minor but common error in #forestplots. The OR isn't symmetric around the null value of 1. Also, X-axis started with 0, which means an infinitely protective effect. It's hard to interpret the plots. Always better to use X-axis in log-scale
