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

Introduction: Diabetes is a common comorbidity among people with cancer. The objective of our study was to examine patterns of health care use among patients with cancer and either type 2 diabetes or prediabetes. Methods: We used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) for 2017-2020. The study population included US adults aged 18 years or older who were diagnosed with any cancer and type 2 diabetes or prediabetes (established by self-report and/or hemoglobin A Results: Of 905 cancer patients representing 27,180,715 people in the US, 24.4% had a type 2 diabetes diagnosis, and 25.8% had a prediabetes diagnosis. Patients with cancer and prediabetes had a significantly higher rate of health care visits (incidence rate ratio = 1.11; 95% CI, 1.01-1.22; P = .03) than patients with cancer only. We found no significant association between having cancer and type 2 diabetes and the number of health care visits or overnight hospital stays compared with patients with cancer only. Conclusion: More emphasis should be placed on optimal care coordination among people with cancer and other conditions, such as diabetes and prediabetes, to reduce the impact of comorbidity on health care use. Interventions integrated with technology to provide timely access to education on preventing or managing diabetes and prediabetes among cancer patients are warranted.
