A Survey Identifying Nutritional Needs in a Contemporary Adult Cystic Fibrosis Cohort.
Article in BMC nutrition, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundCystic fibrosis (CF) is a disease in which nutritional barriers are diverse and common, with malnutrition greatly influencing pulmonary trajectory and overall outcomes. Despite this, the most effective methods to optimize CF nutrition are unknown, and literature describing patients' perspectives on their specific nutritional needs is lacking, particularly in the modern era of CF care. This study aimed to identify the most important nutritional needs and desired health-improvement resources in a contemporary adult CF cohort.
methodsA 14-question investigator-designed survey addressing nutrition concerns, preferred health-improvement resources, and dietary/exercise routines was administered to CF adults. Clinical characteristics and survey responses are presented with descriptive statistics, and responses compared by body mass index (BMI) category (<18.5 kg/m
resultsOf 66 total patients, nine (13.6%) were underweight (BMI <18.5 kg/m
conclusionsWe identified a wide variety of nutritional needs in CF adults, including a high prevalence of overweight status, many patients desiring weight loss, and many seeking financial resources. Our findings support the individualization of modern-day CF nutrition programs and development of online resources, in an effort to address the heterogeneous barriers that exist in the contemporary CF population and improve outcomes in patients with the disease.
