Impact of Energy intake at One Week after Hospitalization on Prognosis for Older Adults with Pneumonia.
Observational study in The journal of nutrition, health & aging, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectivesThis study objectives to investigate the influence of average energy intake at 1 week of hospitalization on prognosis for older adults with pneumonia.
designRetrospective observational cohort study.
settingThe Japan Rehabilitation Nutrition Database comprise those with pneumonia in acute care hospitals.
participantsThe study included 329 pneumonia patients (aged over 65 years) who entered into the Japan Rehabilitation Nutrition Database (JRND) from November 2015 to March 2018. MEASUREMENTS: Logistic regression analysis was performed to confirm the relationship of energy intake with the rate of mortality, discharge home, and pneumonia recurrence during hospitalization. Variables included in the multiple regression analysis model were age, sex, Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form score (MNA-SF) at hospitalization, A-DROP, Charlson comorbidity index (CCI), and presence or absence of rehabilitation.
resultsOf 315 patients with pneumonia (median age 85 years), 63.8% were men. 57.7% were assigned to the lack of energy intake (LEI) at 1 week after admission. Patients in the LEI group were older (p = 0.033), had higher A-DROP score (p < 0.001), and showed higher malnutrition rate in MNA-SF at hospitalization (p < 0.001) than those in the control group. Mortality, pneumonia recurrence (p = 0.001), median body mass index (p = 0.012), and low malnutrition in MNA-SF (p < 0.001) at discharge were significantly higher in the LEI group than in the control group. Logistic regression analysis showed that LEI was an independent risk factor for mortality (Odds ratio: 5.07, p = 0.002), discharge home (Odds ratio: 0.33, p = 0.007), and pneumonia recurrence (Odds ratio: 3.26, p = 0.007).
conclusionsLEI at 1 week after hospitalization in older adults with pneumonia was an independent risk factor for mortality, difficult at-home recovery, and pneumonia recurrence. These findings suggest the importance of adequate energy intake from the early days of hospitalization.
