Nutritional interventions in elderly gastrointestinal cancer patients: the evidence from randomized controlled trials.

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
Literature concerning nutritional interventions in elderly patients with gastrointestinal cancer, with special reference to randomized clinical trials, has been critically reviewed. This segment of oncologic population was found to be penalized by a high prevalence of malnutrition and sarcopenia which translated in an increased rate of toxicity from chemotherapy, poor compliance with oncologic treatments, and, finally, with a poor prognosis. Attempts to reverse this condition included a potentiation of nutrients intake which should sequentially proceed through the use of dietary counseling and administration of standard or ω-3 fatty acid-enriched oral supplements to finally come to enteral or parenteral nutrition. Randomized clinical trials investigating the effects of simple dietary advice and use of standard oral supplements were disappointing as regards long-term compliance and results. Nutritional and clinical benefits were reported with the use of ω-3 fatty acid-enriched oral supplements and especially with long-term supplemental parenteral nutrition. Despite the general recommendation of the scientific community that emphasizes the use of the enteral route, whenever possible, for delivering the nutritional support, it appears from the literature that more consistent benefits can be achieved, especially in the long-term nutritional support, when an insufficient oral nutrition is partnered with intravenous nutrition.
