The weighted median estimate was suggestive of significance (OR 0.785, 95% CI 0.639–0.963, P = 0.020), which highlights the necessity for MVMR analysis.

Notably, the direct causal effect of PE on FEV1 was borderline significant (OR 0.921, 95% CI 0.848–1.000, P = 0.050), which was inconsistent with UVMR and should be interpreted with caution (Table 3 ).
