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

At present, there is a lack of research on the correlation between cumFPG and digestive malignancies, and previous cohort studies have not considered the competitive risk between death and digestive malignancies, which may overestimate the impact of related risk factors. To explore the correlation between cumFPG and malignant tumors of the digestive system. In this study, 53,747 participants who had undergone 3 consecutive physical examinations since 2006 were collected. Finally, a total of 53,747 participants were included in this study. According to the grouping method of previous studies, cumFPG was divided into 4 groups according to the quartile. Cox regression model and competitive risk model were used to assess the risk of new digestive system malignancy. In sensitivity analyses, participants with cancer within 5 years of follow-up were excluded to eliminate the possibility of reverse causation. Subjects taking hypoglycemic drugs were excluded to eliminate the effect of the drug on blood glucose. Restricted cubic splineregresion (RCS) was then used to calculate the relationship between cumFPG and GI cancers. The mean age of participants was 49.02 ± 11.78 years. During a mean follow-up of 10.58 years, 817 new Gastrointestinal cases were identified, and the Cox proportional hazards model suggested that the risk of incidence in the Q2 to Q4 group increased sequentially compared with the lowest Q1 group, even after excluding the diagnosis of digestive malignancy within 5 years, the participants taking hypoglycemic drugs, and the death competition risk model analysis. In site-specific analysis, we observed that this risk was more pronounced in colorectal cancer, liver cancer, and pancreatic cancer, while gastric cancer, small bowel cancer, and bile duct cancer all had a similar trend to the main model but were not statistically significant, while esophageal cancer was U-shaped but not statistically significant. RCS results showed that cumFPG was associated with a similar risk of digestive system tumors, showing an inverted "√" type relationship. High levels of cumFPG are an independent factor in malignancy of the digestive system. cumFPG can provide a new idea for the prevention of Gastrointestinal cancers.
