Impact of body composition and muscle health phenotypes on survival outcomes in colorectal cancer: a multicenter cohort.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Body composition abnormalities are prognostic markers in several types of cancer, including colorectal cancer (CRC). Using our data distribution on body composition assessments and classifications could improve clinical evaluations and support population-specific opportune interventions. This study aimed to evaluate the distribution of body composition from computed tomography and assess the associations with overall survival among patients with CRC. In this multicenter cohort study, patients (N = 635) aged 18 years and older with CRC were observed for 12 to 36 months to assess outcomes. Skeletal muscle area (SM) and index (SMI), skeletal muscle radiodensity (SMD), intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT), subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) were evaluated, and classified based on tertile distributions. Low muscle mass (SMI) and poor muscle composition (SMD) were independent predictors of mortality regardless of follow-up period. This risk of mortality increased to more than 3-fold when combining both low SMI and low SMD (HR
