Sequential relationships of food intake in nursing home residents with dementia: Behavioural analyses of videotaped mealtime observations.
Observational study in Journal of clinical nursing, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
AIMS AND
objectivesThis study examined the sequential relationships of food intake and the moderating role of the characteristics of intake and resident conditions.
backgroundNursing home residents commonly experience insufficient food intake. While multilevel factors influence intake, evidence on sequential relationships is lacking.
designThe study was an observational study using secondary, behavioural analyses following the STROBE Statement.
methodsVideotaped observations (N = 160) collected from a dementia communication trial during 2011-2014 were coded using the refined Cue Utilisation and Engagement in Dementia Mealtime Video-coding Scheme during 2018-2019. The 160 videos involved 27 residents living with dementia and 36 staff in 9 nursing homes. Independent variables were the state (solid intake, liquid intake, no intake) of an intake episode occurring during mealtime (current episode), eating technique (resident-initiated, staff-facilitated) used in the next episode occurring after the current episode (subsequent episode), interval between adjacent episodes, and resident comorbidities and dementia stage. The dependent variable was the state of subsequent episode.
resultsSuccessful liquid and solid intake increased odds of subsequent liquid and solid intake. Comorbidities were associated with decreased odds of subsequent liquid and solid intake for staff-facilitated episodes. When liquid intake occurred, staff-facilitation decreased odds of subsequent liquid intake; longer intervals between adjacent episodes increased odds of subsequent solid intake.
conclusionFood intake was strongly and sequentially associated, and such temporal relationships were dependent on characteristics of the intake process and resident conditions. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: The study findings supported that initiating successful intake facilitates continuity of successful intake during mealtime. Behavioural interventions tailored by comorbidities that modify characteristics of the food intake process may improve food intake.
