Effectiveness of registered dietitian-led management of early nutritional support in the emergency intensive care unit: a retrospective observational study.
Article in BMC nutrition, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06631001 (The Effect of Abdominal Massage on Gastrointestinal Functions in Mechanically Ventilated Patients Receiving Enteral Nutrition in Intensive Care), which is not on this map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
backgroundAppropriate nutritional management in critically ill patients positively impacts prognosis. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a dietitian-led early enteral nutrition protocol in an intensive care unit (ICU).
methodsThis retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data included patients who stayed in the emergency ICU (EICU) for at least 5 days between April 2021 and May 2022. Patients were divided into control and early support groups based on the implementation of the early enteral nutrition protocol in November 2021.
resultsThe time to start enteral nutrition after admission was significantly shorter in the early support group (41.9 h) than in the control group (59.8 h). The early support group (n = 58) also had higher nutritional sufficiency rates than the control group (n = 56) and a lower incidence of diarrhea (10% vs. 37.5%).
conclusionsThe dietitian-led early nutritional support system effectively reduced the time to enteral nutrition initiation, improved nutritional sufficiency rates, and decreased the incidence of diarrhea in the EICU.
