Nutritional counseling was insufficient to maintain dietary intake and nutritional status in head and neck cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy: A historical control study for future intervention in China.

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
Objective: To determine whether nutritional counseling (NC) affects the dietary intake and nutritional status of head and neck cancer (HNC) patients undergoing radiotherapy (RT) in China. Methods: This historical control study enrolled 139 HNC patients in the NC group and 146 patients in the control group. Before RT, the latter received usual education about side effects. The former received three sessions (T Results: The NC group had higher energy ( Conclusions: NC could effectively improve dietary intake, weight loss, and malnutrition in HNC patients receiving RT. Nevertheless, only NC was insufficient to maintain adequate intake and well-nourished status. We should adopt intensive nutritional intervention with a multidisciplinary team to enhance patients' nutritional status.
