WME, T2DM
REGRESSION
Within the framework of this research, a diverse array of methodologies was employed to explore the potential causal relationship between the gut microbiota and T2DM. These techniques encompassed an assortment of approaches, including but not limited to inverse variance weighted (IVW), Simple mode, MR-Egger regression, weighted median (WM), and weighted model (WME). The utilization of these multiple approaches allowed for a comprehensive investigation into the prospective causal linkages between the intestinal microflora and the occurrence of T2DM. Primarily, the IVW method was utilized as a leading causal effect estimator in MR research, demonstrating robust causal relationship detection and high testing efficacy (
