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 patients experience cardiovascular and metabolic comorbidities that worsen treatment tolerance, and increase mortality risk. Metabolic dysregulation, chronic inflammation, and prolonged sedentary behavior are recognized contributors to these adverse outcomes.
objectiveThis study aimed to examine the associations of metabolic markers, inflammatory biomarkers, and sedentary time with major comorbidities among cancer patients.
methodsA cross-sectional study analyzed data from 2021-2023 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. A total of 692 adults with a self-reported history of cancer were included. Body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), blood pressure, pulse rate, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and sedentary time were categorized into tertiles. Multivariate logistic regression models estimated unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios for cardiovascular, respiratory, metabolic comorbidities, controlling for age, sex, race/ ethnicity, education level, smoking status, and physical activity level.
resultsAfter adjustment, higher BMI was significantly associated with congestive heart failure, hypertension, and diabetes. Higher WHR was associated with heart attack and diabetes. SBP showed bidirectional associations, with the highest tertile associated with cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, and diabetes. Hs-CRP was associated with congestive heart failure and hypertension. Longer sedentary time was associated with higher odds of congestive heart failure, hypertension, and diabetes.
conclusionsAfter adjusting for key confounders, metabolic indicators, inflammatory biomarkers, and sedentary time were associated with cardiometabolic comorbidities among cancer patients. BP parameters showed complex bidirectional associations with cardiovascular and metabolic outcomes. These finding highlight the importance of comprehensive and individualized risk assessment in cancer survivorship care.
