Nutrition support use and clinical outcomes in patients with multiple myeloma undergoing autologous stem cell transplant.

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
purposeMalnutrition is associated with worse outcomes post-haematopoietic stem cell transplantation, with nutrition support recommended for people who are malnourished or have prolonged inadequate energy intake. We investigated associations between nutritional status, nutrition support type and clinical outcomes in adults with multiple myeloma post stem cell transplantation.
methodsMedical records (2015-2020) were reviewed to retrieve demographics, anthropometry, dietary data, nutrition support type (enteral/oral versus parenteral), and clinical outcomes (engraftment time, infection, length of stay, weight changes). Relationships were examined using linear regression modelling and Fisher's exact test.
resultsOne hundred thirteen participants were included (61% male; median age 62 years). Fifteen participants (13%) received parenteral and 98 (87%) received enteral/oral nutrition support. Parenteral nutrition was associated with shorter platelet engraftment time by 2.7 days (p = 0.036) and a longer hospital stay by 6.1 days (p < 0.001). Nutrition support was not associated with neutrophil engraftment time (p = 0.365). Inadequate energy intake for ≥ 7 days was not associated with any clinical outcomes (p > 0.05).
conclusionsParticipants who received parenteral nutrition reached platelet engraftment sooner but were in hospital longer. Inadequate energy intake for ≥ 7 days did not impact clinical outcomes. Multi-site prospective studies are warranted to confirm results.
