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

backgroundMalnutrition is highly prevalent in gastric cancer patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy and may compromise treatment completion and survival outcomes. The comparative predictive value of various nutritional assessment tools in this clinical setting remains unclear.

aimTo investigate the impact of nutritional status on treatment completion and prognosis during adjuvant chemotherapy following gastric cancer surgery, providing scientific evidence for clinical nutritional intervention strategies.

methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data of 80 patients who received adjuvant chemotherapy after gastric cancer surgery from January 2020 to June 2024. Nutritional status was assessed using Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS2002), Controlling Nutritional Status, Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI), and Glasgow Prognostic Score before and after chemotherapy. Patients were divided into nutritional risk group (NRS2002 ≥ 3 points,

resultsThirty-seven patients (46.2%) had nutritional risk before chemotherapy. The nutritional risk group had significantly lower treatment completion rate compared to the non-nutritional risk group (75.7%

conclusionNutritional status significantly affects treatment completion and prognosis in gastric cancer patients receiving postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. Both NRS2002 and PNI demonstrate important predictive value, with NRS2002 showing the most consistent performance in predicting treatment completion and survival outcomes. Clinical practice should emphasize nutritional risk assessment and dynamic monitoring, and develop individualized nutritional intervention strategies to improve chemotherapy completion rates and patient outcomes.
