Hallmarks of Cancer Cachexia: Sexual Dimorphism in Related Pathways.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Cancer-associated cachexia (CAC), also known as wasting syndrome, is a systemic condition that affects multiple tissues and organs via a variety of metabolic pathways. Systemic inflammation, progressive weight loss, depletion of adipose tissue, and skeletal muscle impairment are some of the hallmark features of cachexia. Despite various studies on the clinical features of CAC, the complexity of the syndrome continues to pose significant challenges in clinical practice, leading to late diagnoses and the absence of a standardised treatment. Men and women respond differently to CAC, which may be prompted by the pre-existing physiologic sex differences. This review presents the sexual dimorphism associated with the hallmark pathways involved in CAC. A comprehensive understanding of sexual dimorphism in these pathways could drive research on cachexia to prioritise the inclusion of more females in related studies in order to achieve personalised sex-based therapeutic approaches and, consequently, enhance treatment efficacy and better patient outcomes.
