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: The nutritional status of the patients before critical illness and nutrition support given during the critical illness play an important role in the recovery. We aimed to evaluate the nutritional prescription and its effect on ICU mortality. Materials and methods: This was a prospective observational study conducted after institutional ethical committee approval (IEC 94/2018, CTRI/2018/06/014625) in a case-mixed (medical and surgical) ICU. Patients admitted to the ICU were enrolled within 24 hours of admission. The amount of calories and proteins prescribed and received by the patients was collected for 7 days. The primary outcome was ICU mortality. Results: A total of 100 patients were included. The mean age was 48.63 (16.25) years, and 62% were males. The acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE II), sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA), and modified Nutric (mNUTRIC) scores were comparable between the two groups. The ICU mortality was 30%. The calorie and protein deficits were comparable between survivors and non-survivors. Among the secondary outcomes, a significant time effect ( Conclusion: The calorie and protein deficits did not affect ICU mortality. The maximum glucose variability and CV were significant parameters associated with ICU mortality. How to cite this article: Havaldar AA, Selvam S.
