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

Food intake is an essential contributor to both health and disease. Nutrients contribute to a beneficial metabolic equilibrium at the cellular level, preventing or delaying disease onset. Dietary intake contributes to obesity, and obesity supports further cancer and metastasis. Metastasis, a multifactorial and multistep process, is supported by the systemic inflammation of obesity. Spreading of the cancer cells requires the presence of a plethora of recruiter and regulator molecules. Molecules such as chemokines are provided at high levels by obesity-associated fat depots. Chemokine up-regulation in adipose tissue of obese individuals has been associated with different types of cancers such as breast, prostate, colon, liver, and stomach. Chemokines support all metastasis steps from invasion/migration to intravasation, circulation, extravasation, and ending with colonization. The obesity pool of chemokines supporting these processes includes CCL2, CCL3, CCL4, CCL5, CCL7, CCL8, CCL11, CCL18, CCL19, CCL20, CXCL1, CXCL5, CXCL 8, CXCL10, and CXCL12. Keeping obesity under control can be beneficial in reducing the levels of pro-inflammatory chemokines and the risk of poor cancer outcome. Nutrients can help, support, and boost cancer treatment effects or jeopardize the treatment. Constituents with anti-inflammatory and anti-obesity properties such as polyphenols, organosulfur components, fatty acids, curcumin, and vitamin E have a proven beneficial effect in lowering obesity and its contribution to metastasis.
