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
introductionThe Scored Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) is a multidimensional tool used to assess malnutrition and associated risk factors.
objectiveTo evaluate the nutritional status of Brazilian cancer patients hospitalized using the Scored PG-SGA and to examine the correlations with selected nutritional parameters.
methodsThis observational study included 2.027 cancer patients aged over 18 years at a hospital of cancer, Brazil. All patients were assessed for nutritional status using the Brazilian PG-SGA and anthropometric measurements were evaluated.
resultsAccording to the PG-SGA global assessment categories, 56.2% (1.138) cancer patients were well-nourished, 29.3% (594) were moderately malnourished, and 14.4% (292) were severely malnourished. The average body mass index (BMI) was 23.7±5.49 kg/m², and the current weight was 66.34±58.07 kg. The PG-SGA, nutritional status and clinical variable assessed by PG-SGA, were all significantly correlated with body mass index (p < 0.005) and weigh < 0.005).
conclusionsThe Brazilian PG-SGA showed a 43.7% of malnourished cancer patients. The classification of severely malnourished by PG-SGA demonstrated strong positive correlations with BMI. Anthropometric parameters correlates with PG-SGA variable, weigh with sex, nausea, diarrhea, dysgeusia, diagnostics of cancer, fever and death and BMI with sex, food intake, nausea, diarrhea , dysgeusia.
