Forest plot showing multivariable Mendelian randomization results for number of sexual partners with risk of oropharyngeal cancer. Effect estimates on oropharyngeal cancer risk are reported on the log odds scale with 95% confidence intervals. UVMR, univariable Mendelian randomization; MVMR, multivariable Mendelian randomization; Number of sexual partners OR represents the change in odds of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma per SD change (0.94) in number of sexual partners. Comprehensive smoking index (dark orange), smoking initiation (teal blue), alcoholic drinks per week (yellow), risk tolerance (green), educational attainment (light orange). The MVMR effect is the MR effect after accounting for this variable
