Exploring Interaction between Genetically Predicted Body Mass Index and Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Levels on the Odds for Psoriasis in UK Biobank and the HUNT Study: A Factorial Mendelian Randomization Study.
Article in JID innovations : skin science from molecules to population health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Mendelian randomization (MR) studies show that higher body mass index (BMI) and lower 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) increase psoriasis risk. The combined effect of these factors has not been explored using factorial MR. Using cross-sectional data from UK Biobank (n = 398,404) and The Trøndelag Health Study (n = 86,648), we calculated polygenic risk scores for BMI and 25(OH)D to estimate ORs for psoriasis using 2 × 2 and continuous factorial MR. We quantified additive interaction by estimating relative excess risk due to interaction. We also performed traditional observational analyses in UK Biobank. There were 12,207 (3.1%) participants with psoriasis in UK Biobank and 7794 (9.0%) in The Trøndelag Health Study. In 2 × 2 factorial MR, we found no evidence of relative excess risk for psoriasis due to interaction between genetically predicted higher BMI and lower 25(OH)D, neither in UK Biobank (relative excess risk due to interaction = -0.01, 95% confidence interval = -0.08 to 0.07) nor in The Trøndelag Health Study (relative excess risk due to interaction = -0.04, 95% confidence interval = -0.14 to 0.06). The same was observed in the continuous factorial MR and observational analyses. In conclusion, this study did not find evidence of interaction between BMI and 25(OH)D on the risk of psoriasis. Given minor differences in measured BMI and 25(OH)D between the factorial groups, small effects may have been undetected.
