Impact of Anthracyclines on Diabetes Mellitus Development in B-Cell Lymphoma Patients: A Nationwide Population-based Study.
Article in Clinical drug investigation, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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 AND
objectivesAlthough anthracyclines are effective chemotherapeutic agents for treating B-cell lymphoma, adverse effects, such as bone marrow suppression and cardiotoxicity, limit their clinical application. We assessed whether anthracycline treatment also increases the risk for diabetes mellitus in patients with B-cell lymphoma.
methodsUsing data obtained from the Taiwanese National Health Insurance Research Database from 2004 to 2011, we compared overall survival and clinical features for B-cell lymphoma patients administered anthracyclines (n = 3147) and those not administered anthracyclines (n = 837). The impact of anthracycline treatment on diabetes risk was further investigated using a Gray's test and multivariate competing-risk regression models in a dose-dependent manner.
resultsAnthracycline administration was associated with a higher incidence of diabetes (HR: 1.75; 95% CI 1.11-2.75; p = 0.0163) after adjustments for age, gender, cumulative dose of prednisolone, and co-morbidities. Cumulative anthracycline doses of 253-400 mg (HR: 2.35; 95% CI 1.41-3.91; p = 0.0010), 401-504 mg (HR: 2.26; 95% CI 1.26-4.05; p = 0.0063), and > 504 mg (HR: 2.29; 95% CI 1.25-4.18; p = 0.0072) increased the incidence density of diabetes in a dose-dependent manner (p = 0.0006). The annual alteration of adapted diabetes complications severity index score was not significantly different between B-cell lymphoma patients with or without anthracycline treatment (p = 0.4924).
conclusionAnthracycline therapy increases diabetes risk in a dose-dependent manner in B-cell lymphoma patients. Intensive blood glucose monitoring and control should be recommended for B-cell lymphoma patients receiving anthracycline treatment.
