Fig. 5. Mediation analyzes for the 25 medications with a significant protective or deleterious effect for overall survival (OS).
Medications are grouped and color-coded by ATC level. Significant protective associations are shown in blue. Significant deleterious associations are shown in red. Non-significant associations are shown in white. A Average treatment effect (ATE) of the medication (Cox hazard ratio, HR). B Breakdown of the ATE into three path-specific effects (expressed as percentages): direct path, subtype path and node path. Source data are provided as a Source Data file. ATE average treatment effect, ATC Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical, HR hazard ratio, B* blood and blood-forming organs, H** systemic hormonal preparations, excluding sex hormones and insulins, R*** respiratory system.
