Meta-analysis of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids on immune functions and nutritional status of patients with colorectal cancer.
Synthesis in Frontiers in nutrition, 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
This meta-analysis assessed the clinical significance of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in the management of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) after radical resection. We comprehensively searched electronic databases, such as EMBASE, PubMed, MEDLINE and Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), China Biomedical Database (CBM), Wanfang Electronic Database, and VIP Medical Information System (VIP) from inception to 10 April 2022. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of omega-3 PUFAs and conventional nutrition or blank treatments were selected. The following were evaluated in the pooled analysis: immune function-related indices (IgA, IgG, IgM, CD3 Systematic review registration: [https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?ID=CRD42021288487], identifier [CRD42021288487].
