Genetic Markers of Tumor Multiplicity in Non-melanoma Skin Cancer: Associations of 19 SNPs in an Italian Cohort.

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
introductionUltraviolet exposure is the main environmental risk factor for non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSCs), but genetic susceptibility also contributes to variability in disease burden among individuals.
methodsThis study analyzed selected single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes related to vitamin D and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide metabolism, DNA repair, inflammation, and pigmentation as potential biomarkers for NMSC risk in an Italian cohort. Participants were stratified into low- and high-risk groups on the basis of tumor burden.
resultsNo significant differences were observed in demographic or phenotypic factors between the groups; however, chronic sun exposure was associated with an increased risk. A total of 19 SNPs showed significant associations with NMSC multiplicity. Most of these SNPs were noncoding variants that likely influence gene expression or transcript stability. Specific variants in the NNMT, NFKBIA, ERCC6, XPA, LIG1, LIG3, and ZNF365 genes were more prevalent in individuals at high risk. Literature-based functional data indicate that the identified NFKBIA and ERCC6 SNPs are particularly relevant to NMSC risk, as NFKBIA variants may promote inflammation, and the ERCC6 variant can impair DNA repair.
conclusionsThese results underscore the significance of regulatory genetic variation in NMSC susceptibility. The identified SNPs could represent useful biomarkers for genetic risk stratification and support the development of personalized prevention strategies based on genetic profiles.
