1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Premature death in diabetes is increasingly caused by cancer. The objectives were to estimate the excess mortality when individuals with type 2 diabetes(T2D) were diagnosed with cancer, and to examine the impact of modifiable diabetes-related risk factors. This longitudinal nationwide cohort study included individuals with T2D registered in the Swedish National Diabetes Register between 1998-2019. Poisson models were used to estimate mortality as a function of time-updated risk-factors, adjusted for sex, age, diabetes duration, marital status, country of birth, BMI, blood pressure, lipids, albuminuria, smoking, and physical activity. We included 690,539 individuals with T2D and during 4,787,326 person-years of follow-up 179,627 individuals died. Overall, the all-cause mortality rate ratio was 3.75 [95%confidence interval(CI):3.69-3.81] for individuals with T2D and cancer compared to those remaining free of cancer. The most marked risk factors associated to mortality among individuals with T2D and cancer were low physical activity, 1.59 (1.57-1.61) and smoking, 2.15 (2.08-2.22), whereas HbA1c, lipids, hypertension, and BMI had no/weak associations with survival. In a future with more patients with comorbid T2D and cancer diagnoses, these results suggest that smoking and physical activity might be the two most salient modifiable risk factors for mortality in people with type 2 diabetes and cancer.
