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

Cancer cachexia is a multifactorial syndrome characterized by progressive weight loss and a disease process that nutritional support cannot reverse. Although progress has been made in preclinical research, there is still a long way to go in translating research findings into clinical practice. One of the main reasons for this is that existing preclinical models do not fully replicate the conditions seen in clinical patients. Therefore, it is important to understand the characteristics of existing preclinical models of cancer cachexia and pay close attention to the latest developments in preclinical models. The main models of cancer cachexia used in current research are allogeneic and xenograft models, genetically engineered mouse models, chemotherapy drug-induced models, Chinese medicine spleen deficiency models, zebrafish and Drosophila models, and cellular models. This review aims to revisit and summarize the commonly used animal models of cancer cachexia by evaluating existing preclinical models, to provide tools and support for translational medicine research.
