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

BACKGROUND/

aimThis study aimed to examine the effects of nutritional intervention on the prognosis of patients with cardiopulmonary failure undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy in Taiwan. MATERIALS AND

methodsAn institutional review board-approved retrospective study was conducted on patients receiving ECMO therapy in the intensive care unit of the China Medical University Hospital, Taiwan, from January 2013 to December 2013. The study included 102 patients with cardiopulmonary failure receiving ECMO therapy.

resultsThe data indicated that higher survival rates were closely related to lower age and APACHE II scores among the patients. In addition, compared to patients who deceased, those who survived had a higher total calorie intake. Most patients could tolerate bolus feeding and polymeric formulas. Furthermore, patients who underwent nutritional therapy with nutritional goals greater than 80% achieved a better outcome and lower mortality than other patients.

conclusionEarly nutritional intervention could benefit patients undergoing ECMO, and those who reached the delivery goal of 80% had significantly better outcomes than other patients. Enteral feeding can begin early and was well tolerated by patients receiving ECMO therapy. Following individual nutrition goals is critical for better outcomes, and this analysis might be useful in establishing individualized nutrition goals for oriental population when caring for critically ill patients.
