Nutritional Management of Children With Neurological Impairment in China: Current Status and Future Directions.
Article in JPGN reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The aim of this study is to assess the awareness of Chinese physicians on gastrointestinal and nutritional management of children with neurological impairment (NI) and to assess the practical application of the European Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition guidelines on the management of nutritional and gastrointestinal problems in children with NI in Asian countries, particularly in several major medical centers in China. Methods: A web-based questionnaire was distributed between November 2020 and January 2021 among Chinese healthcare professionals involved in the clinical management of children with NI. Fifteen questions covering the most relevant aspects of nutritional management and gastrointestinal issues of children with NI were surveyed. A descriptive analysis of responses was performed. Results: A total of 577 healthcare professionals from over 28 provinces in China answered the questionnaire. Anthropometrics were the most used parameters (n = 539) to assess nutritional status. Most respondents (n = 455) indicated weight faltering and/or failure to thrive as definition of undernutrition. Direct observation of meals was considered the recommended method for diagnosing oropharyngeal dysfunction by 542 professionals. Fundoplication was indicated at the time of gastrostomy placement in patients with uncontrolled gastroesophageal reflux disease by 437 respondents. Conclusions: The clinical practice of Chinese healthcare professionals does not completely match the European Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition guidelines, probably due to the medical system and the economic, social, and cultural differences. Further studies are needed to improve clinical practice and knowledge. Multidisciplinary approach is crucial to optimize the overall medical care and quality of life for children with NI.
