![Figure 426: Mediation analysis diagram illustrating the potential pathway through which docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) may influence Crohn's disease (CD) risk via circulating metabolites. Direct and indirect effects are quantified using two-step Mendelian randomization, highlighting metabolites that may partially mediate the observed association.]()
