Nutrition education with or without oral nutrition supplements has contrasting effects on nutrition status in older adults: A randomized controlled study.
Trial report in Nutrition in clinical practice : official publication of the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundOral nutrition supplements (ONSs) play an important role in the management of malnutrition. This aim of study was to examine whether a comprehensive intervention, combining ONSs, family-centered health education, and nutrition and medical consultations, could improve the nutrition and health status of malnourished older adults living in community dwellings.
methodsA randomized controlled trial was conducted from October 2017 to May 2018 in Shanghai. All participants were screened using the Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form (MNA-SF). Participants with MNA-SF scores ≤11 and age ≥65 were selected. Participants with potential nutrition risk were randomized into two groups: intervention group (n = 101) were prescribed ONSs (400 kcal/day) and family-centered nutrition education (once every 2 weeks) and control group (n = 100) received only family-centered nutrition education. Anthropometric measurements, including weight and height, and nutrition and functional scales, including MNA-SF, grip strength, and activities of daily living scores, were collected at the beginning of the study and 12 weeks later.
resultsOf the 201 study participants, 182 completed the study (mean age, 75.48 ± 7.47 years). After 12 weeks, nutrient intake improvements in the intervention group (+370.6 ± 432.6 kcal/day, +17.6 ± 24.1 g/day) exceeded that of the control group (-67.5 ± 378.2 kcal/day, -0.9 ± 16.7 g/day). In addition, improvements in weight, body mass index, and handgrip strength were significantly higher in the intervention vs control group (P < .05).
conclusionComprehensive nutrition interventions improved nutrition status in malnourished older people living in community dwellings. Use of ONSs may be a good strategy to improve nutrition status and strength in community-dwelling older adults.
