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

methodsMale C57BL/6J mice (12 wk of age) were injected with 1 × 106 LLC cells or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) subcutaneously in the right flank, and tissue was collected 26-28 d after cell injection. Tumor volume was measured every 5 d throughout the study to calculate the tumor growth rate. Fifteen days after tumor inoculation, a subset of PBS (n = 11) and LLC (n = 16) mice were individually housed in metabolic Comprehensive Laboratory Animal Monitoring System cages for 5 d.

resultsLLC mice exhibited greater body weight loss (-5.1%), decreased muscle mass (-7%), decreased fat mass (-22%), and increased plasma interleukin-6 (212%) compared with PBS mice. Before the onset of cachexia, total cage activity was decreased in tumor-bearing mice. Cage activity was negatively associated with tumor mass and positively associated with hindlimb muscle mass. In addition, LLC mice had greater lipid oxidation than PBS mice.

conclusionsLLC mice exhibit early-onset physical inactivity and altered systemic lipid oxidation, which are associated with the eventual development of cachexia.
