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

Objectives: Cancer cachexia has many effects on physical function and causes a decline in activities of daily living (ADL). Therefore, rehabilitation programs should be structured according to the degree of cancer cachexia. Currently, the evaluation of cancer cachexia is mainly based on body mass. However, there is no report on the use of the modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS) to evaluate the degree of cancer cachexia and survival prognosis in palliative cancer patients for whom rehabilitation has been prescribed. This study used mGPS to examine the prevalence of cancer cachexia in palliative cancer patients undergoing rehabilitation and the impacts of cancer cachexia, ADL, and complications on survival. Methods: The participants included 135 palliative cancer patients who were admitted to the hospital and underwent rehabilitation between 2020 and 2022. Cancer cachexia classification by mGPS was conducted, and logistic regression analysis was used to examine factors affecting the survival of palliative cancer patients undergoing rehabilitation. Results: The patients were grouped as follows: 6 (4.4%) normal, 13 (9.6%) undernourished, 12 (9.0%) pre-cachexia, and 104 (77.0%) refractory cachexia. Logistic regression analysis showed that the mGPS and BI affected survival. Conclusions: In a cohort of palliative cancer patients undergoing rehabilitation, 86% had cachexia. mGPS and BI were associated with survival outcomes. Combination of mGPS classification with ADL assessment may provide meaningful prognostic information in these patients.
