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.

2 · The registry

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

The last 4 decades have seen an explosion in nutritional research investigating both clinical and laboratory issues occurring in diverse groups of patients who cannot maintain a normal oral diet. Over the past 25 years, researchers have investigated how the administration of macro- and micronutrients via the gastrointestinal tract provides additional benefit over parenteral administration of similar nutrients. The administration of enteral feeding provides effects that are far beyond those of merely administering macro- and micronutrients. Rather, the processing of nutrients via the gastrointestinal tract stimulates a complex response that has implications for body composition and for immunologic integrity. Route and type of nutrition are important aspects of successful patient recovery.
