Nutritional status in patients with chronic pancreatitis.
Article in European journal of clinical nutrition, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectiveChronic pancreatitis (CP) patients have an increased risk of malnutrition. Information about nutritional status of CP outpatients is scarce, and simple, sensitive methods to identify patients at risk are lacking. This explorative cross-sectional study was performed to survey the nutritional status of CP outpatients. SUBJECTS: Fifty patients with chronic or recurrent acute pancreatitis (RAP) had a nutritional assessment performed. Scores on nutritional screening tools and a quality of life questionnaire were assessed. General observations and relations between parameters were described.
resultsThirty-nine patients had CP and eleven patients had RAP. According to the nutritional screening tools, 28-50% of the patients had a moderate or high risk of malnutrition. All domains of the Short Form Health Survey were significantly lowered in CP patients (all P0.001) compared with the Dutch norm values. A considerable number of patients scored below the 5th percentile on anthropometric measures. Mini Nutritional Assessment could not identify all patients with very low anthropometric scores. Substantial weight loss was not a sensitive indicator for functional impairment.
conclusionCP outpatients are at risk of malnutrition. Currently used screening methods (for example, weight loss) are likely to be not sensitive enough to identify all patients with impaired body composition and restricted function. Therefore, some patients with objective decline in nutritional status will remain unidentified. An extended nutritional assessment is recommendable in CP patients.
