Significant Loss of Macronutrients During Passage Through Feeding Tube: An Observational Study.
Article in JPGN reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Feeding infants born before week 34 of gestation is based mainly on providing nutrition directly to the gastrointestinal tract through a nasogastric tube. Little is known about the impact of formulas passage through nasogastric tube on their macronutrient content. The aim of our study was to evaluate changes in macronutrient content of various formulas after transfer through a feeding tube. Methods: Eleven frequently used formulas were chosen. Ten consecutive measurements were performed for each formula. Simulated real-life practice tube feeding was performed by using an infusion pump connected to a feeding tube. A Human Milk Analyzer, using an infrared spectroscopy method, was used to compare the preinfusion and postinfusion macronutrient contents of the different formulas. Results: A total of 220 measurements were performed. Variations in at least one macronutrient were observed in 5 out of 10 formulas. Fat and energy content were modified in 1 preterm formula. Conclusions: Changes in the macronutrient content after tube feeding transfer were observed for some infant formulas, including those designed for very low birth weight infants. These alterations might relate to specific formulation of each formula. The biological significance of our results to the very low birth weight infants should be studied further.
