Nutritional support in 111 pediatric intensive care units: a European survey.
Article in Intensive care medicine, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
objectiveTo study current strategies in nutritional management of pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) in Europe, focusing on energy requirements. DESIGN AND
settingSurvey by a 35-item questionnaire sent to representatives of 242 PICUs in 28 countries. Addresses were obtained from national PICU associations and the members' list of the European Society of Pediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care.
participantsStaff members of 111 European PICUs (46%) from 24 countries. MEASUREMENTS AND
resultsPredominantly physicians were reported to be responsible for nutritional support. In 73% of PICUs a multidisciplinary nutritional team was available. In most PICUs daily energy requirements were estimated using weight, age, predictive equations and correction factors. In 17% of PICUs energy expenditure was regularly measured by indirect calorimetry. Nutritional status was mostly assessed by weight, physical examination, and a wide range of biochemical blood parameters. Approximately 70% of PICUs used dedicated software for nutritional support. A similar percentage of PICUs regarded "nutrition" as a research topic and part of the residents' training program.
conclusionsMost European PICUs regard nutritional support as an important aspect of patient care, as shown by the presence of nutritional teams, software, research, and education. However, energy requirements of pediatric intensive care patient were based predominantly on estimations rather than on measurements.
