Association Between Poor Lifestyle Habits and Cutaneous Melanoma Risk: A Mendelian Randomization Study.
Article in Clinical, cosmetic and investigational dermatology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: There is still no consensus on the risk factors of cutaneous melanoma, and the causal relationship between poor lifestyle habits (including undersleeping, smoking, alcohol consumption and sedentary behaviour) and cutaneous melanoma remains uncertain. Methods: We investigated the causal effect of poor lifestyle habits on cutaneous melanoma through the Two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR). MR analysis was performed by using the genome-wide association studies (GWAS) statistics. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) robustly associated with undersleeping, smoking, alcohol consumption and sedentary behaviour were used as instrumental variables, we performed five MR approaches, including inverse variance weighted (IVW), weighted median, simple mode, MR-Egger and weighted mode. Results: The causal relationship between undersleeping and cutaneous melanoma was discovered in IVW (OR = 1.018, 95% CI = 1.002-1.033, P = 0.025). However, the causal association between smoking, alcohol consumption, sedentary behaviour and cutaneous melanoma have not been found in all MR approaches. Conclusion: The MR analysis indicated that undersleeping is causally associated with the risk of cutaneous melanoma.
