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
introductionIn the present study, we evaluated the association of nutritional status and quality of life (QoL) in patients with gastric cancer (GC). MATERIALS AND
methodsIn the present cross-sectional study, the study sample consisted of 299 patients with GC. The assessment of the nutritional status and QoL of patients was done after diagnosis and before initiation of any treatment. The nutritional status was assessed using Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA). The 30-item European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Core Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTCQLQ-C30) was used for the assessment of QoL score. Statistical significance was reported at the p < 0.05 level.
resultsThe mean age of participants was 67.39 ± 12.04 years and 65.5% of them were males. According to the PG-SGA, 28.5% of patients were in good nutritional condition. The patients with better nutrition status had significantly better global and functional categories scores (p < 0.001) except social functioning. Moreover, they had significantly lower scores in symptoms severity except for dyspnea, constipation, and diarrhea. The result of regression analysis indicated that after adjusting to confounders, nutrition status was significantly associated with global score and functional categories score except for social and emotional functioning scores. Moreover, in terms of symptom categories, there was a significant association between PG-SGA score and all symptoms except diarrhea and dyspnea.
conclusionThe results of the present study showed the significant association between nutrition status and functioning and symptom categories of QoL in patients with GC.
