A randomized controlled trial protocol for the introduction of a multidisciplinary individualized nutritional intervention in children with cerebral palsy.

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
Introduction: Children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) encounter substantial nutritional challenges that impair their health and quality of life. Despite the importance of nutrition in managing CP and the recognition of physiological, behavioral, and social causes of malnutrition, research on the effectiveness of individualized nutritional interventions developed and supported by multidisciplinary teams is scarce. Aim: The study will evaluate the impact of an individualized nutritional intervention developed and supported by a multidisciplinary team on the anthropometric outcomes and overall health of children with CP. Methods: A single-center, randomized controlled trial, conducted at the Medical University of Varna, Bulgaria, will enroll 100 children aged 2-12 years and diagnosed with CP. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group, receiving comprehensive structured dietary assessment and individualized nutrition plan developed by a multidisciplinary team of experts, or to a standard care group. Outcomes assessed will focus on anthropometric measures of nutritional status, but also include health outcomes, child development and clinical assessments, and quality of life indicators. Ethics: Ethical approval for this study has been obtained from the Medical Ethics Committee at the Medical University of Varna (Protocol No. 134 dated 20.07.2023). Conclusion: This study will assess the benefits of a multidisciplinary, individualized nutritional intervention for children with CP. The findings will have implications for clinical guidelines and interventions aiming to improve their care and quality of life.
