Measurement of sarcopenia in lung cancer inpatients and its association with frailty, nutritional risk, and malnutrition.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
Background: Sarcopenia, frailty, and malnutrition are associated with undesirable clinical outcomes in cancer patients. Sarcopenia-related measurements may be promising fast biomarkers for frailty. Our objectives were to assess the prevalence of nutritional risk, malnutrition, frailty, and sarcopenia in lung cancer inpatients, and describe the relationship of them. Methods: Stage III and IV lung cancer inpatients were recruited before chemotherapy. The skeletal muscle index (SMI) was assessed by multi-frequency bioelectric impedance analysis (m-BIA). Sarcopenia, frailty, nutritional risk, and malnutrition were diagnosed according to the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019 (AWGS 2019), Fried Frailty Phenotype (FFP), nutritional risk screening-2002 (NRS-2002), and Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition criteria (GLIM), and correlation analysis was performed between them with Pearson's Results: The cohort included 97 men (77%) and 29 women (23%), with mean age of 64.8 ± 8.7 years. Among the 126 patients, 32 (25.4%) and 41 (32.5%) had sarcopenia and frailty, and the prevalence of nutritional risk and malnutrition was 31.0% ( Conclusion: Comprehensively assessed sarcopenia is independently associated with frailty based on FFP questionnaire, BMI, and ECOG. Therefore, sarcopenia assessment including m-BIA based SMI, and muscle strength and function could be used to indicate frailty to help select the targeting patients for care. Moreover, in addition to muscle mass, muscle quality should not be ignored in clinical practice.
