Investigation of measured and predicted resting energy needs in adults after spinal cord injury: a systematic review.
Synthesis in Spinal cord, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 papers.
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
backgroundAccurate estimation of energy needs is vital for effective nutritional management of individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). Inappropriate energy prescription after SCI can compound the rates of malnutrition or obesity, increase the risk of complications and negatively influence outcomes. Energy requirements following SCI are not well understood, and there is currently no universally accepted method of estimating energy needs in clinical practice. STUDY
designThis is a systematic literature review.
objectivesThe objectives of this study were to investigate and compare the measured resting energy needs of adults with SCI across different phases of rehabilitation, and to identify appropriate energy prediction equations for use in SCI.
settingThis study was conducted in Australia.
methodsMEDLINE, EMBASE and CENTRAL databases were searched for studies published between 1975 and April 2015, identifying 298 articles. Full articles in English language of adults with SCI who were fasted for a minimum of 8 hours before undergoing indirect calorimetry to measure resting energy expenditure (REE) for at least 20 min were selected. On the basis of the inclusion criteria, 18 articles remained for data extraction. One author extracted information from all articles, and inter-rater reliability was tested in five articles.
resultsREE across three phases of injury was assessed: acute, sub-acute and chronic. Few studies (n=2) have investigated REE in the acute and sub-acute injury stages of SCI recovery. The factors influencing chronic energy needs in SCI patient populations are many and varied, and a valid predictive equation for use in SCI remains elusive.
conclusionIndirect calorimetry remains the only accurate assessment of REE for health practitioners working with patients after SCI.
