Food and nutrition insecurity and clinical and anthropometric indicators in individuals with cancer eligible for radiotherapy.
Article in European journal of clinical nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectivesto analyze the association between food and nutrition insecurity (FNI) and sociodemographic, clinical, and anthropometric indicators in individuals with cancer eligible for curative radiotherapy.
methodsStudy with the collection of sociodemographic and clinical data, and nutritional, anthropometric, and FNI assessment. Estimated Prevalence Ratio (PR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) of FNI and exposure variables using the Poisson regression model with robust variance.
results252 individuals were evaluated, 51.2% female, 60.7% elderly, 40.1% with breast or uterine cancer, 27.8% with urological cancer, 18.2% with head and neck cancer, and 7.5% with difficulty acquiring an enteral diet or nutritional supplement. The prevalence of FNI was 17.9%, 6.4% being moderate and 3.6% severe. FNI was less frequent in the high-income tertile (PR = 0,38; 95% CI: 0,18-0,79), and in individuals with urological tumors (PR = 0.12; 95% CI: 0.04-0.37), while higher prevalences were identified in non-white individuals (PR = 1,82; 95% CI: 1.01-3.28) among those with stage IV tumor (PR = 1.42; 95% CI: 1.03-1.95), with severe weight loss (PR = 2.99; 95% CI: 1.75-4.82), severely malnourished (PR = 2.58; 95% CI: 1.34-4.95) and bedridden (PR = 5.54; 95% CI: 2.72-11.29). Additionally, a higher prevalence of FNI associated with a reduction in usual food consumption (PR = 2.09; 95% CI: 1.24-3.54), the need to modify the consistency of the diet (PR = 3.45; 95% CI: 2.11-5.67), use of caloric supplements (PR = 2.07; 95% CI: 1.17-3.69) or enteral feeding (PR = 3.46; 95% CI: 2.01-5.94).
conclusionOne in five individuals with cancer presented FNI associated with socioeconomic and nutritional vulnerability in the radiotherapy pre-treatment phase.
