An observational and genetic investigation into the association between psoriasis and risk of malignancy.
Observational study in Nature communications, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
The relationship between psoriasis and site-specific cancers remains unclear. Here, we aim to investigate whether psoriasis is causally associated with site-specific cancers. We use observational and genetic data from the UK Biobank, obtaining GWAS summary data, eQTL analysis data, TCGA data, and GTEx data from public datasets. We perform PheWAS, polygenic risk score analysis, and one-sample and two-sample Mendelian randomization analyses to investigate the potential causal associations between psoriasis and cancers. In the unselected PheWAS analysis, psoriasis is associated with higher risks of 16 types of cancer. Using one-sample Mendelian randomization analyses, it is found that genetically predicted psoriasis is associated with higher risks of anal canal cancer, breast cancer, follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and nonmelanoma skin cancer in women; and lung cancer and kidney cancer in men. Our two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis indicates that psoriasis is causally associated with breast cancer and lung cancer. Gene annotation shows that psoriasis-related genes, such as ERAP1, are significantly different in lung and breast cancer tissues. Taken together, clinical attention to lung cancer and breast cancer may be warranted among patients with psoriasis.
