1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Previous observational and genomic-wide association studies (GWAS) suggested the association between several phenotypic factors and keratinocyte carcinoma, including lifestyle and dietary, photodamage-related conditions and socioeconomic status. The causal effect of these phenotypic factors in keratinocytes carcinoma etiology remains unclear. In this study, we utilized two-sample mendelian randomization analysis from multiple large-scale GWAS datasets of keratinocytes carcinoma including more than 300,000 patients. Genetic instrumental variables (IVs) were constructed by identifying single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that associate with corresponding factors. The inverse variance weighted (IVW) method and four robust MR approaches, including weighted median estimator, MR-Egger regression, simple mode and weighted mode were implemented for causal inferences and assess the sensitivity across findings. In this analysis, ease of skin tanning was identified as casual protective factor of keratinocyte carcinoma (Basal cell carcinoma: IVW OR = 0.718, 95% CI 0.654-0.788, Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s43657-024-00174-w.
