Nutritional management in critically ill patients with COVID-19: a retrospective multicentre study.
Observational study in Anaesthesiology intensive therapy, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionAlthough nutritional treatment is an established pillar of multidisciplinary care provided in critical illness, there are many concerns regarding this issue in severe COVID-19. This observational, retrospective, multicentre study aimed to analyse the approach to nutritional treatment among selected intensive care units (ICUs) in Poland. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe medical records of 129 patients hospitalized in five units due to respiratory failure following COVID-19 were analysed in terms of nutritional management on the eighth day of the ICU stay. The Harris-Benedict equation (HB), Mifflin St. Jeor equation (MsJ) and ESPEN formula (20 kcal kg -1 body weight) were used to estimate the energy target for each patient, and two ESPEN formulas determined the protein target (1 g kg -1 body weight and 1.3 g kg -1 body weight).
resultsEvaluation of nutritional therapy was performed in 129 subjects. The fulfilment of caloric requirement considering the HB, MsJ and ESPEN formula was 66%, 66.7% and 62.5%, respectively. Two clinical centres managed to provide 70% or more of daily caloric requirements. According to the ESPEN formula, the implementation of the protein target was 70%; however, one of the investigated units provided a median of 157% of the protein demand. The nutritional management varied in the preferred route of nutrition administration. Neither method nor grade of nutrition supply influenced biochemical parameters on the 8th day of ICU stay.
conclusionsSignificant differences in nutritional treatment of critically ill COVID-19 patients in Polish ICUs were noted, which underlines the importance of setting up clear guidelines regarding this issue.
