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

objectiveThe objective of this prospective randomized controlled study was to investigate the effect of nutritional supplementation on postoperative oxidative stress and duration of hospitalization in elderly patients with hip fracture.

methodsA total of fourteen women (= SG) with hip fracture received individually adapted supplements enriched with protein and antioxidants postoperatively, nine served as unsupplemented controls (= CG). Blood samples were taken preoperatively (T1), on the day of discharge from hospital (T2) and three weeks thereafter (T3). Plasma concentrations of albumin and total protein (TP) were measured by autoanalysis, advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP) and the total antioxidant capacity (TAC) were determined photometrically. Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were analyzed by HPLC.

resultsPostoperatively, there was a significant (T1 > T2, p< 0.01) decrease in plasma albumin, TP and TAC, followed by a significant (p< 0.05) increase in the period T2-T3 in the CG, but not in the SG. This resulted in significant differences in TP (T2: SG > CG, p< 0.05) and TAC (T2: SG > CG, p< 0.01) between the investigated groups. Postoperatively, the plasma levels of AOPP and MDA increased significantly (T1 < T2, p< 0.01) in both groups, and remained at the significantly (AOPP: T1 < T3, p< 0.05; MDA: T1 < T3, p< 0.01) elevated level in the CG, but not in the SG (T2 > T3, p< 0.01). Consequently, the oxidant markers MDA and AOPP were significantly positively (p< 0.01), TAC and albumin significantly negatively (p< 0.05) related to duration of hospital stay in both groups.

conclusionsIndividualized nutritional supplementation may reduce postoperative oxidative stress and shorten duration of hospitalization in patients with hip fracture.
