A scoping review: Community-based interventions for primary prevention of skin cancer.
Article in Dermatology online journal, 2026. 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
Background: Skin cancer remains one of the most preventable yet prevalent malignancies worldwide, with non-melanoma and melanoma skin cancers ranking among the top 5 and top 20 most common cancers, respectively. Rising incidence rates in countries such as the United States and Australia have been linked to high ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure and modifiable behavioral risk factors. Public health efforts increasingly emphasize sun safety education to reduce UV exposure and mitigate long-term cancer risk. Objective: To summarize the current research landscape of intervention strategies for the primary prevention of skin cancer and the study designs used to evaluate these efforts. Methods: We conducted a scoping review following PRISMA-ScR guidelines across PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, Cochrane Library, and PsycInfo. Included studies assessed original sun safety programs implemented in school, community, and healthcare settings, focusing on behavior change, accessibility, and long-term impact. Results: This review highlights the variability in intervention design and underscores the need for comprehensive, evidence-based strategies that integrate education with accessible resources. Conclusion: Strengthening these efforts is essential to improving sun safety practices and reducing the global burden of skin cancer.
