Effectiveness of home-based exercise combined with nutritional care intervention in elderly patients with gastric cancer and sarcopenia: a retrospective study.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Sarcopenia and malnutrition are prevalent among elderly patients with gastric cancer, significantly impairing recovery and quality of life (QoL). Effective interventions targeting both nutritional and physical deficiencies are critical. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a home-based exercise combined with nutritional care intervention in improving nutritional status, patient-generated subjective global assessment (PG-SGA) scores, and QoL among elderly patients with gastric cancer and sarcopenia. Methods: A retrospective evaluation was conducted on 126 elderly patients (aged ≥ 65 years) with gastric cancer and sarcopenia between January 2021 and December 2023. Patients were divided into two groups: the observation group ( Results: Baseline characteristics were comparable between the groups ( Conclusion: The home-based exercise combined with nutritional care intervention significantly enhanced nutritional status, reduced PG-SGA scores, and improved QoL in elderly patients with gastric cancer and sarcopenia. This integrated approach demonstrates its value as an effective strategy for comprehensive cancer care, addressing both physical and nutritional deficits to optimize recovery outcomes.
