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: To analyze the current status of nutrition-related research on cancer patients in the past 20 years, explore the current research hotspots and frontiers, and provide references for nutrition-related research on cancer patients. Methods: Literature on cancer nutrition published between 1 January 2004 and 31 July 2024 was retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI). CiteSpace 6.4. R1 was used for bibliometric analysis. Results: From Web of Science, 954 English-language articles were included, yielding nine clusters: gastrointestinal neoplasms-enteral nutrition, nutritional screening and assessment (covering nutrition assessment, nutrition screening, and nutrition risk index), sarcopenia, nutritional prehabilitation, risk, advanced cancer, and patient-generated subjective global assessment. From CNKI, 1,156 Chinese-language articles were included, forming eight clusters: enteral/parenteral nutrition, relative angle, nurse-led interventions, nutritional support, prognostic nutritional index, patients with gastrointestinal tumors, enhanced recovery after surgery, and nutritional risk assessment. Research centered on gastrointestinal cancer and perioperative care, with hotspots in malnutrition screening and assessment, sarcopenia, enhanced recovery, and prognosis. Conclusion: Cancer nutrition research is progressing steadily, with a predominant focus on evaluating and screening patients' nutritional status. Strengthening international and interdisciplinary collaboration and expanding the breadth and depth of inquiry will help advance this field.
