Summary of Mendelian Randomization Studies on Vascular Dementia Risk Factors

A 10.4 KB Excel file summarizing articles that present evidence of a causal relationship between vascular cognitive impairment or vascular dementia and various exposures using Mendelian randomization. The dataset was authored by Melody Zuo and last updated on June 3, 2026. It is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license on figshare.

Use Cases

• Conducting a meta-analysis based on summarized evidence from Mendelian randomization studies.
• Identifying gaps in the literature on causal risk factors for vascular cognitive impairment.
• Benchmarking methodological approaches used in Mendelian randomization studies for dementia.
• Synthesizing evidence for systematic reviews on vascular dementia etiology.

Strengths

• Dataset is small (10.4 KB), facilitating quick download and inspection.
• Provides a structured summary of articles using a specific causal inference method (Mendelian randomization).
• Has a clear, permissive license (CC-BY-4.0) for reuse.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The 10.4 KB size indicates a very limited scope, likely containing only summary-level data.
