Impact of Nutritional Status on Chemotherapy Related Digestive Toxicity in Women With Breast Cancer.
Article in Nutrition and metabolic insights, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Introduction: Any alteration in nutritional status can compromise the progression of breast cancer, as well as the tolerance and efficacy of chemotherapy. The aims of our study were to assess the nutritional status of breast cancer patients treated with chemotherapy and to identify nutritional factors that may exacerbate chemo-induced digestive toxicity. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted within the medical oncology department of the National Institute of Salah Azaiez. A Mediterranean Diet Score (MDS) was used to evaluate the level of adherence to the Mediterranean Diet. Nutritional status was assessed using 2 methods; body composition evaluation utilising the TANITA BC 601 impedance metre and High authority of health (HAS) criteria of malnutrition. Digestive effects were assessed with World Health Organization (WHO) grades ranging from 0 to 4. High grades 3 and 4 signified toxic grades. Results: We enrolled 107 adult women diagnosed with breast cancer undergoing the same chemotherapy protocol. The participants had an average age of 52.56 ± 9.75 years and an average BMI of 29.85 ± 5.72 kg/m Conclusion: There is a relationship between nutritional status and digestive toxicity, justifying early nutritional treatment to improve the tolerance and efficacy of chemotherapy.
