1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The most common cancer in Thailand is colorectal cancer (CRC). A lack of knowledge and misleading information from social media have contributed to cancer deaths from malnutrition. A web application is a tool that provides easy access to scientific nutritional information via an online platform. In this study, our goal was to compare the nutritional status of CRC patients using different nutrition-based educational tools with nutrition counseling, namely the Nutrition Educational Prototype based on Smartphone Web Applications (NEPSA) and standard hospital leaflets. Anthropometric and biochemical analyses and a dietary assessment, especially calories and protein, were measured during three visits. This study finally included 28 CRC patients who were undergoing chemotherapy and malnutrition with a body mass index (BMI) of <20 kg/m
