1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Medical nutrition should be tailored to cover a patient's needs, taking into account medical and organizational possibilities and obstacles. This observational study aimed to assess calories and protein delivery in critically ill patients with COVID-19. The study group comprised 72 subjects hospitalized in the intensive care unit (ICU) during the second and third SARS-CoV-2 waves in Poland. The caloric demand was calculated using the Harris-Benedict equation (HB), the Mifflin-St Jeor equation (MsJ), and the formula recommended by the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN). Protein demand was calculated using ESPEN guidelines. Total daily calorie and protein intakes were collected during the first week of the ICU stay. The median coverages of the basal metabolic rate (BMR) during day 4 and day 7 of the ICU stay reached: 72% and 69% (HB), 74% and 76% (MsJ), and 73% and 71% (ESPEN), respectively. The median fulfillment of recommended protein intake was 40% on day 4 and 43% on day 7. The type of respiratory support influenced nutrition delivery. A need for ventilation in the prone position was the main difficulty to guarantee proper nutritional support. Systemic organizational improvement is needed to fulfill nutritional recommendations in this clinical scenario.
