1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The occurrence of cachexia at the end of life of patients suffering from cancer is a common seen problem. Within the last years new definitions, diagnostic criteria and classification systems of cachexia have been developed to improve the clinical practice. Still therapeutic interventions are limited; the role of parenteral nutrition (PN) remains controversial. PN cannot be generally recommended in patients with incurable malignancies, not even in ill-nourished patients with inadequate oral or enteral nutrition due to a changed metabolism. Treating a cachectic endstage patient suffering from head-neck-cancer we were faced with different problems.
