Nutritional assessments and interventions in head and neck, esophageal, rectal and lung cancers undergoing anticancer treatments: a literature review.
Review in Frontiers in oncology, 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
In the last decades, greater toxicities deriving from anticancer treatments (especially chemo and/or radiotherapy), along with cancer sites, increase the risk of nutritional status impairment. This condition should be avoided because it could determine early therapies' interruptions and worse clinical outcomes. In this review, we aim to provide an overview of the current evidence obtained from Pubmed and Embase databases assessing the role of nutritional assessments and interventions during anticancer treatments, with a particular focus on immunonutrition. Actual evidence suggests that nutritional practices are different worldwide, however, it is essential to define an adequate and standardized nutritional evaluation including at least food intake estimation, anthropometric measurements and body composition analysis. Nutritional interventions should always include intensive counseling and, in some cases, the prescription of specific dietary supplements. Nowadays, immunonutrition formulas represent a promising tool to improve many nutritional and treatment outcomes, but further studies are still necessary to define an evidence based clinical practice.
