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

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the association of cancer cachexia with psychosocial impact, nutrition impact symptoms (NIS), and geriatric assessment in older patients newly diagnosed with advanced lung cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Methods: Older patients with advanced lung cancer scheduled to receive first-line chemotherapy between August 2021 and February 2022 were enrolled. Cachexia was diagnosed according to the International Consensus. NIS and psychosocial impacts were assessed using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaires (EORTC QLQ) C30, CAX24, and the Eating-Related Distress Questionnaire (ERD). Non-parametric tests evaluated the association between cachexia and its impacts. Patients with cachexia who consented to be interviewed were asked about their experiences with diet and weight changes. Three authors reviewed the interview data to ensure the analysis's veracity. Results: Twenty-one of the 31 participants (68%) had cachexia at baseline. The cachexia group showed significantly greater severity of Food Aversion ( Conclusions: Cancer cachexia showed an association with NIS and psychosocial impacts. Older patients with advanced lung cancer scheduled to receive first-line chemotherapy should undergo a comprehensive assessment of cancer cachexia, including its potential physical and psychological impacts. Trial registration: The trial registration number was UMIN 000053843.
