A Nutritionally Complete Oral Nutritional Supplement Powder Improved Nutritional Outcomes in Free-Living Adults at Risk of Malnutrition: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Trial report in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
backgroundThis randomized controlled trial investigated the effectiveness of an oral nutritional supplement (ONS) on nutrition-related outcomes over 12 weeks in Chinese adults with or at risk of malnutrition.
methods88 Chinese adults ≥18 years living independently in Hong Kong with Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form (MNA-SF) score ≤11 were randomly assigned to (1) 2 servings/day of nutritionally complete ONS powder made with water (Fresubin
resultsThe intervention group showed a significantly higher mean increase in BW compared with the control group (1.381 kg, intervention vs control,
conclusionsFor Chinese free-living adults at risk of malnutrition, daily consumption of a nutritionally complete ONS powder improved nutritional outcomes compared with the control group.
