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

Cancer-associated cachexia is a wasting syndrome that affects up to 50% of cancer patients. It is defined as unintentional weight loss ≥5% over 6 months and characterized by muscle atrophy, fatigue, and anorexia that are refractory to nutritional support. Sarcoma describes a diverse group of malignancies arising from the connective tissues. Sarcoma patients are uniquely susceptible to cancer-associated cachexia given its origins in the musculoskeletal system. Our previous research suggests that sarcoma cells may contribute to sarcoma-associated cachexia (SAC) via establishment of TNF-α-mediated inflammation and dysregulation of muscle homeostasis by abnormal Notch signaling. Here, we examine the role of the Notch pathway and pro-inflammatory cytokines in cells derived from cachectic and non-cachectic human sarcoma patients. We observed increased expression of Notch pathway genes in the cachexia group while no differences in pro-inflammatory cytokines were observed. Co-culture of muscle-derived stem cells (MDSCs) and sarcoma cells demonstrated the inhibition of MDSC maturation with both cachectic and non-cachectic patient cells, corresponding to elevated
