Diabetic mortality risk among cancer patients in the United State SEER population, 1975-2016.
Article in Endocrine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundThe focus on diabetic mortality in cancer patients remains superficial. The objective of our study is to identify cancer patients with the highest risk of diabetic mortality compared with other cancer patients and the general US population.
methodsThe representative data of cancer patients dying from diabetes between 1975 and 2016 was retrieved from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program. Standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) and excess risks for multiple cancer sites were calculated. Cox regression analysis was performed to identify potential risk factors of death from diabetes.
resultsAmong 9,043,788 cancer patients diagnosed between 1975 and 2016, 51,611 patients died from diabetes. the SMR of diabetic death was 2.15 compared with the general population. Malignancies of pancreas, liver, and brain had the highest SMR (>15) compared with the general population. The risk of death from diabetes was increasing in more recent years. The majority of deaths from diabetes occurred in those >45 years of age diagnosed with prostate, breast, colorectum, lung, or bladder cancer. Patients with older age, male sex, black race, higher histologic grade, unmarried status, and not undergoing surgery are at higher risk compared with other cancer survivors.
conclusionsCompared to the general population, cancer patients are at elevated risk of death from diabetes throughout the follow-up period. Elderly, black, unmarried males with distant metastases and without receiving surgery are recommended with earlier detection and more efficient diabetic care, especially for those with prostate, breast, colorectum, lung, or bladder cancer.
