1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundWhether to conduct enteral ecoimmunonutrition (EEIN) in patients undergoing hepatectomy remains controversial. This study aimed to systematically explore the efficacy and safety of EEIN in patients undergoing hepatectomy. SUBJECT: We performed searches in the Embase, PubMed, Medline, Cochrane Library, Chinese Scientific Journal Database (VIP), Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Wanfang databases.

resultsA total of 9 randomized controlled trials (705 patients) were included. The meta-analysis revealed a significantly shorter time to first postoperative flatus (h) (MD, -14.60; 95% CI, -16.06~-13.15; P < 0.00001); lower levels of alanine aminotransferase (µmol/L) (MD, -22.26; 95% CI, -28.42~-16.10; P < 0.00001), aspartate transaminase (µmol/L) (MD, -53.79; 95% CI, -57.37~-50.21; P < 0.00001), total bilirubin (µmol/L) (MD, -16.28; 95% CI, -17.77~-14.79; P < 0.00001), direct bilirubin (µmol/L) (MD, -8.77; 95% CI, -9.65~-7.88; P < 0.00001), endotoxin (ng/L) (MD, -0.78; 95% CI, -0.88~-0.68; P < 0.00001), tumor necrosis factor-α (pg/ml) (MD, -79.69; 95% CI, -99.90~-59.49; P < 0.00001), and interleukin-6 (pg/ml) (MD, -46.29; 95% CI, -50.24~-42.34; P < 0.00001); and higher levels of immunoglobulin A (g/L) (MD, 0.24; 95% CI, 0.14~0.35; P < 0.00001), immunoglobulin G (g/L) (MD, 1.52; 95% CI, 1.22~1.82; P < 0.00001), and immunoglobulin M (g/L) (MD, 0.12; 95% CI, 0.05~0.20; P = 0.0007) in the EEIN group than in the enteral or parenteral nutrition (EN/PN) groups.

conclusionEnteral ecoimmunonutrition support in patients undergoing hepatectomy may effectively protect liver function, reduce serum endotoxin levels and inflammatory factors, improve the immune function of patients, and promote the recovery of postoperative gastrointestinal function, which is worthy of clinical application.
