Embedding nutrition into routine oncology care: about time?
Review in Oncology reviews, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Cancer significantly impacts nutritional status, thereby affecting treatment tolerance, quality of life, and survival. However, nutrition remains underutilized in oncology care. Methods: This paper describes current evidence to examine challenges, and propose strategies, for embedding nutrition into routine oncology care across the cancer continuum. Results: The complexity of cancer-related malnutrition demands simple, validated, and cancer-specific tools for nutritional screening and assessment. Terminology such as "cachexia" and "malnutrition" may not appear positive for clinicians or patients; alternatives like "nutritional fitness" are suggested. Barriers to integration include misconceptions about cachexia as solely end-of-life, poor adherence to clinical guidelines, limited training for oncologists, and lack of access to dietitians. Integration of nutrition into clinical drug trials and perioperative care (e.g., prehabilitation) is essential. Emerging tools like PRONTO and composite indices incorporating body composition and inflammation may offer practical pathways forward. Conclusion: Early and ongoing nutritional monitoring, positive communication, regulatory alignment, and education of all stakeholders, including oncologists, surgeons, and patients are critical to embedding nutrition in oncology. By reframing nutritional care as a core component of treatment rather than supportive care, outcomes can be improved and practice re-shaped.
