Background: Observational studies suggest that metformin may reduce the risk of malignant tumors of the digestive system (MTDS), but these findings are often confounded by bias and unmeasured variables. Recent meta-analyses have questioned these associations, emphasizing the need for robust causal inference.

Methods: Mendelian randomization (MR) was used to evaluate the causal relationship between metformin and MTDS.

This meta-analysis aims to evaluate whether the effects of SGLT-2i or GLP-1 RAs on cardiovascular outcomes are consistent with and without baseline metformin use.

Methods: PubMed, Cochrane, Web of Science and Embase were searched for randomized placebo-controlled trials with SGLT-2i or GLP-1 RAs as interventions of type 2 diabetes patients up to June, 2024.
