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

purposeEffective, timely and evidence-based nutritional management is important in patients receiving autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) to prevent the negative consequences of developing malnutrition. This study describes a robust process for development and implementation of an evidence-based nutrition care pathway for HSCT patients in a tertiary cancer centre.

methodsA comprehensive review of the literature was completed to identify relevant articles and evidence-based guidelines to inform the development of the pathway. Evidence from the literature review was assessed and utilised to underpin the development of pathway. The pathway was implemented in the haematology service in collaboration with the multidisciplinary haematology team. Dietetic resource requirements for implementation of the pathway were determined and clinician compliance with the care pathway was assessed to evaluate the feasibility of the pathway in supporting delivery of evidence-based care.

resultsThe evidence-based care pathway was implemented in 2011 with the final care pathway based on recommendations from five international evidence-based guidelines. Overall clinician compliance with delivering nutrition management described in the care pathway was high at 84%. The dietetic resource requirement for implementation of the care pathway was 300 to 400 h per 100 patients depending on conditioning chemotherapy regimen.

conclusionA robust process for developing and implementing a nutrition care pathway for HSCT patients was effective in supporting the delivery of evidence-based nutritional management for patients treated with HSCT.
