Sarcopenia may Influence the Prognosis in Advanced Thyroid Cancer Patients Treated With Molecular Targeted Therapy.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
BACKGROUND/
aimReportedly, sarcopenia and nutritional status are associated with prognosis in cancer patients. However, data regarding the relationship of these factors with advanced thyroid cancer patients receiving molecular targeted therapy remains scarce. Therefore, we investigated the relationship between nutritional assessment, as well as sarcopenia, and prognosis in patients with advanced thyroid cancer undergoing molecular targeted therapy. PATIENTS AND
methodsIn this retrospective study, sarcopenia and several markers of nutritional status were assessed in advanced thyroid cancer patients at the Kanazawa University Hospital, before the introduction of molecular targeted therapy.
resultsAdvanced thyroid cancer patients with sarcopenia presented a worse prognosis than those without sarcopenia. Additionally, sarcopenia strongly correlated with several markers of nutritional status, such as albumin, prognostic nutrition index, and Glasgow prognostic score.
conclusionSarcopenia could be a prognostic factor in patients with advanced thyroid cancer receiving molecular targeted therapy.
