Assessment of Cancer-Associated Cachexia - How to Approach Physical Function Evaluation.
Review in Current oncology reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
purpose of reviewCachexia is a devastating syndrome that impacts a majority of cancer patients. Early assessment of cachexia is critical to implementing cachexia treatments. Our aim was to summarize the existing cachexia assessment tools for their utility in both symptom and function evaluation. RECENT
findingsSeveral tools now exist that provide a symptom-based approach for evaluating weight change, appetite, and nutrition impact symptoms in cancer patients with cachexia. However, current instruments used to assess physical function changes related to cachexia are limited in depth and breadth. Instead, we recommend a tiered approach to cachexia-related functional assessment that involves evaluation of activities of daily living, general mobility, and exercise tolerance in a prioritized sequence. Current tools for cancer-associated cachexia assessment are adept at symptom evaluation. New approaches to physical function evaluation are needed that efficiently and broadly evaluate the diverse functional needs of cachexia patients.
