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

backgroundWe aimed to characterize body composition, metabolic impairments, and physical performance among survivors of pediatric abdominal and pelvic solid tumors.

methodsParticipants included 431 survivors of abdominal or pelvic tumors [median attained age = 29.9 (range: 18.7-55.1) years]. Relative lean mass and fat mass were assessed with dual X-ray absorptiometry. Metabolic outcomes [insulin resistance (IR), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein, and triglycerides] were based on laboratory values and medication usage. General linear regression evaluated associations between treatment and lifestyle with body composition; binomial regression evaluated associations between body composition and metabolic outcomes and physical performance.

resultsLean mass was lower than values from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) in males (Z-score = -0.67 ± 1.27;

conclusionsAbdominal/pelvic radiotherapy is associated with body composition changes that can adversely influence metabolic outcomes and performance status among survivors. IMPACT: Interventions targeting body composition may facilitate management of cardiovascular disease risk in this population.
