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

backgroundSarcopenia in gynaecologic oncology patients has garnered increasing attention, but its prevalence has not been comprehensively summarized. This study aims to integrate the prevalence of sarcopenia in this population through systematic evaluation and meta-analysis, providing a reference for future clinical research.

methodsA computerized search of PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science and other databases was conducted to collect relevant literature on the prevalence of sarcopenia in gynaecologic oncology patients and its impact on prognosis, with a timeframe from the inception of the databases to July 2024. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted information and assessed the risk of bias. After evaluating the risk of bias, a meta-analysis was performed using RevMan5.4 software. This systematic review was conducted using a previously published study protocol (PROSPERO: CRD42024565094).

resultsA total of 24 studies encompassing 4136 patients were included. The meta-analysis revealed that the prevalence of sarcopenia in gynaecologic oncology patients was 38.8% (I

conclusionSarcopenia has a high prevalence in gynaecologic oncology patients. Healthcare professionals should prioritize early screening and preventive measures for high-risk patients.
