Monitoring energy balance through clinical and serum biomarkers in patients with hematologic malignancies undergoing chemotherapy.
Article in Annals of hematology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Despite widespread concern about energy imbalance due to tumor and chemotherapy-related side effects, little is known about detailed variations in energy input, metabolic rate, and physical activity. This study explored changes in energy balance components and serum biomarkers of patients with hematologic malignancies undergoing chemotherapy. Our prospective study included 40 patients with hematologic malignancies hospitalized for chemotherapy. We measured energy balance components, physical function, and serum biomarkers at baseline and weekly after chemotherapy for 3 weeks. Significant weight loss, representing negative energy balance, occurred at 2 (p = 0.002) and 3 weeks (p < 0.001) post-chemotherapy. Statistically reduced oral intake was observed at 3 weeks post-chemotherapy (p = 0.040), and resting energy expenditure statistically decreased according to Harris-Benedict equation, but not to Penn State University equation. Physical function according to DEMMI score decreased significantly at 3 weeks post-chemotherapy (p = 0.002). Serum biomarker analysis demonstrated significant changes in albumin, total protein, CXCL13, and GDF15, with exception of leptin. Although conventional serum biomarkers (total protein and albumin) did not reach pathological states despite their statistical differences, subgroup analysis showed CXCL13 in weight loss group and GDF15 in reduced oral intake group were significantly changed. Over half of patients (65.0%, n = 26) suffered from energy imbalance associated with weight loss and reduced oral intake during chemotherapy. Serial laboratory results suggested that novel biomarkers (CXCL13, GDF15) could be correlated with cachexic state and reduced food intake. Monitoring clinical and serum biomarkers associated with energy balance together can help identify needs for nutritional support in patients with hematologic malignancies undergoing chemotherapy.
