Post-Diagnosis Adherence to the Mediterranean Diet and Cancer Recurrence and Fatigue Outcomes in Cancer Survivors, with Emphasis on Colorectal Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

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
backgroundCancer survivors face heightened risks of recurrence and persistent cancer-related fatigue (CRF), both of which impair quality of life. The Mediterranean Diet (MD), characterized by its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory profile, has been proposed as a potentially beneficial dietary pattern. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the association between post-diagnosis MD adherence and outcomes of cancer recurrence and CRF among adult survivors, with particular attention to colorectal cancer.
methodsSystematic searches of PubMed, CINAHL, and the Cochrane Library (January 1995-May 2024) identified prospective cohort studies and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) reporting post-diagnosis MD adherence. Primary outcomes were cancer recurrence and CRF. Random-effects models were applied for recurrence analyses due to anticipated heterogeneity, while a fixed-effects model was used for CRF given the limited number of trials. Heterogeneity was assessed using the
resultsEight studies met inclusion criteria: six prospective cohort studies assessed recurrence (
conclusionsHigher adherence to the Mediterranean Diet after cancer diagnosis was associated with recurrence-related outcomes in observational studies, while evidence for CRF remains exploratory and statistically imprecise. Larger, adequately powered randomized trials are needed to clarify the role of the Mediterranean Diet in survivorship care.
