Benefits and limitations of enteral nutrition in the early postoperative period.
Review in Langenbeck's archives of surgery, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundPreexisting malnutrition has been shown to be a major clinical problem in surgical patients. Surgical stress itself increases the energy expenditure and protein loss making necessary the early nutritional support. Although there is strong evidence that "nil by mouth" is not justified, the data are still conflicting over the role of early enteral nutrition compared with the traditional methods of postoperative feeding including total parenteral nutrition support. METHODS AND FOCUS: This paper deals with the various trials related to early enteral feeding. It also compares this with the possible advantages of total parenteral nutrition as a method of perioperative nutritional support in patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery.
