Mineral Disorders in Adult Inpatients Receiving Parenteral Nutrition. Is Older Age a Contributory Factor?
Article in The journal of nutrition, health & aging, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundParenteral nutrition (PN)-dependent adults and elderly individuals who are admitted to hospital treatment are potentially susceptible to mineral disorder complications due to depleted physiological reserves, loss of lean body mass, and increased fat mass, thus worsening inflammation.
aimThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of hypophosphatemia, hypokalemia, and hypomagnesaemia prior and within the first 7 days of PN infusion. Furthermore, whether malnutrition and old age are associated with these disorders was also investigated.
methodsThis study included a historical cohort of adult patients, and 1,040 patients whose information was prospectively entered in the database were evaluated.
resultsOf the 781 patients, 27.3% were ≥65 years, 80.9% had undergone surgical treatment, 74.3% were in the intensive care unit, and 17.9% died during the hospitalization period. About 17.1% patients were malnourished. Protein energy malnutrition (PEM) was observed in 31.9% of the elderly patients and 27.1% of adults in general. Hypophosphatemia, hypokalemia, and hypomagnesemia were more prevalent before the start of PN infusion (D0: 214 [18.4%]), and new events were more common during the first 2 days of PN infusion (D1: 283 [23.1%]; D2: 243 [20.1%]. Elderly patients were more susceptible to developing hypophosphatemia (odds ratio [OR]: 1.69; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.29-2.19; p<0.001). Patients with PEM were also more susceptible to hypophosphatemia (OR: 3.75; 95% CI: 1.13-12.47; p=0.036).
conclusionHypophosphatemia, hypokalemia, and hypomagnesemia were frequently observed in hospitalized adults and elderly patients before and particularly during the first 2 days of PN infusion. Elderly patients and patients with PEM are more susceptible to developing hypophosphatemia.
