Cancer-related fatigue and biochemical parameters among cancer patients with different stages of sarcopenia.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06255145 (Assessment of Body Composition, Fatigue, Mobility and Functional Status in Post-Stroke Individuals), which is not on this map. Cited by 22 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
purposeCancer-related fatigue (CRF) is a pervasive symptom experienced by cancer patients. Sarcopenia has been suggested as a treatment target of CRF. This study aims to assess the differences of CRF and biochemical markers among different stages of sarcopenia which remain poorly delineated.
methodsA total of 187 patients were included in this cross-sectional study. Based on muscle mass (skeletal muscle index, SMI), muscle strength (handgrip strength), and physical performance (SARC-F score), patients were divided into four groups (non-sarcopenia, pre-sarcopenia, sarcopenia, and severe sarcopenia). Cancer-related fatigue was measured by the Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI). Biochemical markers were measured by routine blood tests.
resultsThe BFI score was significantly associated with sarcopenia stage (r=0.500; P<0.001). Cancer patients in severe sarcopenia group suffered from worse CRF than those in non-sarcopenia, pre-sarcopenia, and sarcopenia groups (P<0.001). In the multivariate linear regression model (R
conclusionsThe significantly increased occurrence and severity of CRF in cancer patients with sarcopenia suggest that sarcopenia may be a crucial target to improve the management of CRF. Circulating albumin and cholinesterase have the potential to predicting sarcopenia as biomarkers.
