Diabetes as a risk factor of hospitalization in the surgical ward due to cancer in the elderly and middle-aged population.
Article in Archives of medical science : AMS, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
introductionDiabetes can be considered as a risk factor of several types of malignancy. Surgery is one of the primary methods of cancer treatment. The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between diabetes and hospital admissions to the surgery unit due to malignancy among elderly and middle-aged people. MATERIAL AND
methodsData for analysis were taken from the medical records of 7,694 patients aged > 45, hospitalized in the General Surgery Ward in the Specialist District Hospital in Stalowa Wola in the Subcarpathian (Podkarpacie) Province, Poland, in the years 2010-2013. Among them malignancy was diagnosed in 652 patients and diabetes in 370 subjects. Ninety-three patients suffered from both diabetes and cancer.
resultsDiabetes was associated with significantly elevated risk of hospitalization due to malignancy compared with the non-diabetic population, odds ratio (OR) 4.051 (95% confidence interval: 3.154-5.203),
conclusionsPatients with diabetes, especially elderly and urban inhabitants, are at high risk of hospital admission due to malignancy. This indicates the need for oncological vigilance in such patients for early detection and treatment of cancers common in this population.
