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/

objectivesSeptic Surgery Center (SSC) patients are at a particularly high risk of protein-energy malnutrition (PEM), with a prevalence of 35-85% found in various studies. Previous collaboration between our hospital's SSC and its Clinical Nutrition Team (CNT) only focussed on patients with severe PEM. This study aimed to determine whether it was possible to improve the quality of nutritional care in septic surgery patients with help of a nutritional policy using the Nutritional Risk Score (NRS). SUBJECTS/

methodsNutritional practices in the SSC were observed over three separate periods: in the 3 months leading up to the implementation baseline, 6 months after implementation of preventive nutritional practices, and at 3 years. The nutritional care quality indicator was the percentage of patients whose nutritional care, as prescribed by the SSC, was adapted to their specific requirements. We determined the septic surgery team's NRS completion rate and calculated the nutritional policy's impact on SSC length of stay. Data before (T

resultsNinety-eight patients were included. The nutritional care-quality indicator improved from 26 to 81% between T

conclusionsThese findings showed that implementing a nutritional policy in an SSC is possible with the help of an algorithm including an easy-to-use tool like the NRS.
