Serum tumor markers: Can they clinically implicate in type 2 diabetes mellitus?
Article in World journal of diabetes, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
"Serum tumor markers expression (CA19-9, CA242, and CEA) and its clinical implications in type 2 diabetes mellitus" authored by Meng and Shi presents an observational case-control study investigating the correlation between tumor markers and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The study explores the diagnostic accuracy of tumor markers, particularly cancer antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), CA242, and carcinoembryonic antigen, in poorly controlled T2DM patients with hemoglobin A1c levels exceeding 9%, employing receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Though study offers valuable insights into the potential utility of tumor markers in clinical practice, caution is advised regarding routine tumor marker testing due to challenges such as limited availability and cost. Additionally, the study overlooks potential confounding factors like smoking and alcohol consumption. Variations in CA19-9 and CA242 expression underscore the complex interplay between tumor markers and systemic diseases, warranting further investigation into their diagnostic and prognostic implications. While Meng and Shi represent a significant contribution to the field, more extensive research is needed to fully elucidate the role of tumor markers in diabetes management and beyond.
