Functional training and timed nutrition intervention in infectious medical patients.
Trial report in European journal of clinical nutrition, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03952858 (Early Telerehabilitation After Hospital Discharge From Acute Care in Geriatric Patients. A Randomized Study With Four, Eight Weeks and Six Months Follow-up), which is not on this map. Cited by 2 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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/
objectivesBed rest and decreased nutrition intake in hospitalized patients have been shown to impair the clinical course negatively, including reduced function after hospital stay. Recent reviews have shown that early physical rehabilitation for acute hospitalized old adults leads to functional benefits. The aim of our study was to assess whether it was possible to influence nutrition intake, loss of muscle function and quality of life, with an evidence-based intervention in acutely ill hospitalized infectious medical patients. SUBJECTS/
methodsFor potentially frail patients, functional training three times weekly, and an individually adjusted self-training program for use 1-2 times daily, was given by a physiotherapist. Oral nutritional supplement with 5-10 g whey protein was timed straight after training 2 times daily, and dietetic advice was provided. A historical control group was used to compare nutrition intake. Functional measures and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) were done on admission and discharge.
resultsThe study included 59 patients in the intervention group. Historic control included 145. Energy and protein intake increased by 3053 kJ (P<0.001) and 28 g of protein (P<0.001), compared with historic controls. Functional parameters (De Mortons Mobility Index (DEMMI), Timed Up and Go and the 30-s chair test) and HRQoL improved significantly for the overall group, most remarkably in patients >70 years of age, from hospitalization to discharge.
conclusionThe intervention with dietician and timed oral supplement to functional training by physiotherapist in hospitalized infectious medical patients improved function as well as nutrition intake and HRQoL.
