Circulating PCSK9: A new frontier in cancer risk stratification for obese diabetics.
Article in Oncology letters, 2026. 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
This study investigated potential plasma biomarkers associated with cancer risk and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), a population known to have an increased cancer incidence and poorer outcomes compared with non-diabetic individuals. Traditional metabolic indicators, including blood pressure, blood glucose and blood lipids, have limited predictive value for cancer risk, highlighting the need for novel clinical biomarkers. In total, 141 subjects with T2DM were enrolled in this study. Plasma inflammatory and lipid-related biomarkers included cluster of differentiation 147 (CD147), cyclophilin A (CyPA), cytokines, oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxi-LDL), oxi-LDL antibody and proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9). Among all participants, 37.6% were obese (body mass index ≥27 kg/m
