Adherence to Antidiabetic Medication and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Cancer Patients: A Nationwide Population-Based Cohort Study.
Article in Cancers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesCancer survivors increasingly face cardiovascular disease (CVD), with diabetes as a major risk factor. This study investigates the relationship between adherence to antidiabetic medications and cardiovascular (CV) outcomes in cancer patients.
methodsUsing data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort, we assessed the clinical outcomes of adult cancer patients prescribed antidiabetic medications. The study population was categorized based on medication adherence, as determined by the medication possession ratio (MPR): good (MPR ≥ 0.8), moderate (0.5 ≤ MPR < 0.8), and poor (MPR < 0.5) adherence. The primary outcomes included overall and CV mortality, with secondary outcomes encompassing hospitalization for major CVDs and healthcare costs.
resultsAmong the 7928 cancer patients with diabetes, 59.7% were nonadherent (22.1% with moderate and 37.6% with poor adherence). Over a median follow-up of 5.7 years, 1462 deaths and 2897 CV events were confirmed. Multivariable adjusted analyses showed a 1.70-fold and 2.11-fold higher risk of overall mortality for the moderate and poor adherence groups, respectively, compared to the good adherence group. For CV mortality, moderate adherence was associated with a 1.51-fold higher risk, and poor adherence with a 2.10-fold higher risk. The risk for new-onset CV events increased by 1.32-fold in the moderate adherence group and 1.44-fold in the poor adherence group. The good adherence group also showed significantly lower total healthcare costs compared to the nonadherence group.
conclusionsThe present study underscores the importance of adherence to antidiabetic medications in cancer patients, revealing significant associations with decreased mortality, CV events, and healthcare costs.
