# Metformin Hepatocellular Carcinoma Versus Neurodegenerative Disease

## Signal

Metformin is associated with a reduced odds ratio of hepatocellular carcinoma in diabetic patients. [R1]

## Update

Metformin shows no significant effect on the incidence of neurodegenerative disease subtypes. [R2]

## Synthesis

The divergence in outcomes is defined by the contrast between hepatocellular carcinoma in diabetic populations and neurodegenerative disease subtypes. [R1] [R2]

## Limitations

Evidence is limited by observational designs, lack of head-to-head comparison, and unspecified dose, duration, and aggregation constraints. [R1] [R2]

## Falsifier

A result showing no significant association between metformin and hepatocellular carcinoma would overturn the divergence. [R1] [R2]

## Receipts
- [R1] Metformin in the prevention of hepatocellular carcinoma in diabetic patients: A systematic review (2019). DOI: 10.1016/j.aohep.2019.10.005.
- [R2] Association between metformin and neurodegenerative diseases of observational studies: systematic review and meta-analysis (2020). DOI: 10.1136/bmjdrc-2020-001370.

## Status

Receipt-bound alpha memo. Every factual claim is source-bound; the falsifier is a test, not evidence.
