Interrupted Nutrition Support in Patients With Burn Injuries: A Single-Centre Observational Study.
Article in Plastic surgery (Oakville, Ont.), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundEnteral nutrition (EN) is essential to meet the increased metabolic requirements of burn-injured patients. However, feeds are often suspended for care. This study examines the interruptions in EN (IEN).
objectiveTo determine the frequency and duration of IEN and whether these interruptions are predictable or unpredictable.
designThis retrospective chart review of 27 adult burn patients examined age, sex, body mass index, percentage of total body surface area, length of hospital stay, predicted energy requirements from equations and indirect calorimetry, EN start time, time EN reached goal rate, and interruptions to EN.
resultsPredictable interruptions accounted for 74.5% (frequency) and 81.6% (duration) of total interruptions. The most frequent and time-consuming interruptions were perioperative period, extubation, and tests/procedures (predictable) versus high gastric residual volume, emesis/nausea, and feeding tube displacement (unpredictable).
conclusionsMost IEN were due to predictable events. Based on these findings, compensating for predictable interruptions to meet nutritional requirements in burn patients is recommended.
