The effect of type 2 diabetes genetic predisposition on non-cardiovascular comorbidities.
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
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is epidemiologically associated with a wide range of non-cardiovascular comorbidities, yet their shared etiology has not been fully elucidated. Leveraging eight non-overlapping mechanistic clusters of T2D genetic profiles, each representing distinct biological pathways, we investigate putative causal links between cluster-stratified T2D genetic predisposition and 21 non-cardiovascular comorbidities. Most of the identified putative causal effects are driven by distinct T2D genetic clusters. For example, the risk-increasing effects of T2D genetic predisposition on cataracts and erectile dysfunction are primarily attributed to obesity and glucose regulation mechanisms, respectively. When surveyed in populations across the globe, we observe opposing effect directions for depression, asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease between populations. We identify a putative causal link between T2D genetic predisposition and osteoarthritis. To underscore the translational potential of our findings, we intersect high-confidence effector genes for osteoarthritis with targets of T2D-approved drugs and identify metformin as a potential candidate for drug repurposing in osteoarthritis.
