What is the relations between dysgeusia and alterations of the nutritional status? A metanarrative analysis of integrative review.
Review in Acta bio-medica : Atenei Parmensis, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
BACKGROUND AND
aimDysgeusia is an altered or damaged tasting perception of a multifactorial etiology, from polypharmacy, infections to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Approximately 5% of the population suffer from a diminished taste sensation, which unfortunately remains underestimated by the affected person, creating the conditions for a dramatic underestimation of the incidence of the symptom. The aim of this study is to summarize the evidences present in literature on the relations between Dysgeusia and alterations of the nutritional status Methods: an integrative review with metanarrative analysis of the articles included was carried out in August 2020. PubMed, Scopus, Embase and CINAHL databases were examined with keywords and methodological strings. PRISMA flow-chart along with a qualitative evaluation grid (JBI-QARI) were applied in the selection of the studies with a time limitation to the last ten years.
results10 articles resulted from the literature review process were divided into two macro-categories. Eight articles reported dysgeusia linked to weight loss. The second macro-category showed two studies relating to dysgeusia in patients with altered nutritional status associated with body weight gain.
conclusionsthis review represents an initial contribution to summarize the best evidence and knowledge in relation to dysgeusia, with the aim of enabling the identification and treatment of this symptom and facilitating targeted educational interventions.
