Nutrition Support Practices of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Centers in Mainland China.
Article in Current medical science, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
It has been identified that malnutrition can influence the immune system and time of engraftment, and it's also associated with increased incidence of complications, prolonged length of hospital stays, and transplant mortality and morbidity in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), so dynamic nutrition care is highly important. The aim of this study was to better understand the differences between clinical nutrition practices and international recommendations as well as possible barriers to the use of nutrition support in HSCT patients. An evidence-based nutrition support pathway was constructed through a systematic literature review to identify evidence and recommendations relating to the relevant issues. Then, a questionnaire consisting of 28 questions that focused on the 4 topics, namely, assessment and screening for malnutrition, nutrition support interventions, nutrition support in gastrointestinal graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and neutropenic diet was developed by the study authors and used for data collection. Responses of 18 HSCT centers from 17 provinces were received. General assessment for malnutrition was performed at 72% (13/18) centers. Parenteral nutrition (PN) was given as the first option to HSCT patients in the majority of centers, despite the fact that current guidelines recommend enteral nutrition (EN) over PN. As many as 72% (13/18) of the centers considered a neutropenic diet in the management of HSCT patients, but only one center had a formal neutropenic diet protocol in place for transplant recipients. Criteria for initiating nutrition support in patients with gastrointestinal GVHD were heterogeneous among the centers, and PN was the most widely used technique. The survey results revealed significant heterogeneity with regard to nutrition support practices among the centers, as well as between the practices and the guidelines. Standard nutrition support guidelines or protocols for nutrition support practices were absent in most of the centers.
