Quantifying lifetime risk for 1,401 infectious diseases across the diabetes spectrum using a Bayesian approach.
Article in medRxiv : the preprint server for health sciences, 2025. 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
Although many diabetes complications have been extensively studied, less is known about the burden of infectious diseases. We developed a Bayesian approach to compare infection risk across 9,476 patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D), 74,270 with type 2 diabetes (T2D), and 32,095 with prediabetes. Patients with T1D, T2D, and prediabetes had multifold increased risk for all organ system- and pathogen-based composite infection outcomes. We also quantified risk for 1,401 individual infection outcomes, finding increased risk for 880 in T1D, 1,047 in T2D, and 991 in prediabetes. Patients had increased risk for well-established diabetes-associated infections (e.g., mucormycosis) and less commonly associated infections (e.g., West Nile Virus encephalitis). Finally, we found disparities in risk across sociodemographic subgroups (i.e., age, sex, ethnicity, ancestry, and insurance status). Our comprehensive findings advance previous research by quantifying risk for wide-ranging infection outcomes across diverse patients with T1D, T2D, and prediabetes through an innovative Bayesian approach.
