In one paragraph

Review in Canadian journal of surgery. Journal canadien de chirurgie, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00290524 (Prospective, Multicentric, Randomized Phase III Study Comparing Early Oral Alimentation to Nil Per Os Diet After Colorectal Surgery), which is not on this map. Cited by 29 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

Systemic inflammatory responses to severe trauma and surgical illnesses may be partly responsible for numerous complications, including sepsis, multiple organ failure and unregulated hypermetabolism leading to protein-calorie malnutrition. The integrity of the gastrointestinal tract appears to be an important factor in the pathogenesis of the systemic inflammatory response and sepsis. Resuscitation and nutrition support strategies for preserving gut mucosal integrity have therefore been strongly promoted. This review summarizes the scientific rationale for emphasizing enteral nutritional support of surgical patients, discusses some important limitations of enteral feeding and argues for a flexible approach to nutrition support for these complex patients.
