Interrelationships between Dietary Outcomes, Readmission Rates and Length of Stay in Hospitalised Oncology Patients: A Scoping Review.
Synthesis in Nutrients, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
backgroundPoor food intake is an independent risk factor for malnutrition in oncology patients, and achieving adequate nutrition is essential for optimal clinical and health outcomes. This review investigated the interrelationships between dietary intakes, hospital readmissions and length of stay in hospitalised adult oncology patients. METHODOLOGY: Three databases, MEDLINE, Web of Science and PubMed were searched for relevant publications from January 2000 to the end of August 2022.
resultsEleven studies investigating the effects of dietary intakes on length of stay (LOS) and hospital readmissions in cohorts of hospitalised patients that included oncology patients were identified. Heterogenous study design, nutritional interventions and study populations limited comparisons; however, a meta-analysis of two randomised controlled trials comparing dietary interventions in mixed patient cohorts including oncology patients showed no effect on LOS: mean difference -0.08 (95% confidence interval -0.64-0.49) days (
conclusionsDespite research showing the benefits of nutritional intake during hospitalisation, evidence is emerging that the relationship between intakes, LOS and hospital readmissions may be confounded by nutritional status and cancer diagnosis.
