Pathophysiology of cachexia and characteristics of dysphagia in chronic diseases.
Review in Asia-Pacific journal of oncology nursing, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Cachexia is a condition characterized by skeletal muscle loss, weight loss, and anorexia. It is a complication of many diseases, not only cancer, and is characterized by chronic systemic inflammation. Cachexia and sarcopenia share common factors. The various symptoms observed in cachexia may be caused by multiple factors and inflammatory cytokines secreted by a tumor. Essentially, sarcopenia develops with aging, but it can occur at younger ages in the presence of cachexia, malnutrition, and disuse syndrome. In a recent study, dysphagia was found to be closely associated with malnutrition and sarcopenia. Factors specific to chronic diseases may influence the clinical outcome of dysphagia. Elderly people frequently exhibit dysphagia, but no research has been reported on whether cachexia is directly linked with dysphagia. Dysphagia is an important clinical problem, leading to aspiration pneumonia, suffocation, dehydration, malnutrition, and death. In addition to treating the patient, the degree of dysphagia needs to be accurately assessed. This review focuses on the pathogenesis of cachexia and the prevalence of dysphagia-related diseases, methods of assessment, and their impact on clinical outcomes.
