Association of Systemic Inflammation with Dietary Intake, Nutrition Impact Symptoms, and Eating-Related Distress Among Patients with Advanced Cancer.

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
backgroundSerum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels are correlated with patient outcomes in cancer. This study aimed to determine associations between the CRP level and the dietary intake, symptoms, and eating-related distress (ERD).
methodsWe conducted a multicenter survey among advanced cancer patients. Information on patient characteristics was retrieved from the electronic medical records. Data on patient outcomes were obtained through the questionnaire. Patients were categorized into the low CRP group (<5 mg/dL) and the high CRP group (≥5 mg/dL). Comparisons were calculated using the Mann-Whitney U test or chi-squared test. To assess associations between CRP levels and ERD, multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed.
resultsA total of 191 patients were enrolled and divided into the low CRP group (
conclusionsHigh CRP levels were significantly associated with reduced dietary intake, appetite loss, and ERD. A serum CRP value of 5 mg/dL may be a useful indicator for initiating cancer cachexia care.
