A community-based study of nucleotide excision repair polymorphisms in relation to the risk of non-melanoma skin cancer.
Article in The Journal of investigative dermatology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is responsible for protecting DNA in skin cells against UVR-induced damage. Using a candidate pathway approach, a matched case-control study nested within a prospective, community-based cohort was carried out to test the hypothesis that single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in NER genes are associated with susceptibility to non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). Histologically confirmed cases of NMSC (n=900) were matched to controls (n=900) on the basis of age, gender, and skin type. Associations were measured between NMSC and 221 SNPs in 26 NER genes. Using the additive model, two tightly linked functional SNPs in ERCC6 were significantly associated with increased risk of NMSC: rs2228527 (odds ratio (OR) 1.57, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.20-2.05) and rs2228529 (OR 1.57, 95% CI 1.20-2.05). These associations were confined to basal cell carcinoma (BCC) of the skin (rs2228529, OR 1.78, 95% CI 1.30-2.44; rs2228527, OR 1.78, 95% CI 1.31-2.43). These hypothesis-generating findings suggest that functional variants in ERCC6 may be associated with an increased risk of NMSC that may be specific to BCC.
