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

BACKGROUND &

aimsThe intestinal rehabilitation program (IRP) is a specialized approach to managing patients with intestinal failure (IF). The goal of IRP is to reduce the patient's dependence on parenteral nutrition by optimizing nutrition intake while minimizing the risk of complications and providing individualized medical and surgical treatment. We aimed to provide a thorough overview of our extensive history in adult IRP.

methodsWe reviewed the medical records of adults with IF treated at our center's IRP over the past two decades. We collected data on demographic and clinical results, such as the causes of IF, the current status of the remaining bowel, nutritional support, and complications or mortality related to IF or prolonged parenteral nutrition.

resultsWe analyzed a total of 47 adult patients with a median follow-up of 6.7 years. The most common cause of IF was massive bowel resection due to mesenteric vessel thrombosis (38.3%). Twenty-eight patients underwent rehabilitative surgery, including 12 intestinal transplants. The 5-year survival rate was 81.9% with 13 patients who expired due to sepsis, liver failure, or complication after transplantation. Of the remaining 34 patients, 18 were successfully weaned off from parenteral nutrition.

conclusionOur results of IRP over two decades suggest that the individualized and multidisciplinary program for adult IF is a promising approach for improving patient outcomes and achieving nutritional autonomy.
