Nutritional Interventions in Older, Frail Persons with Heart Failure-A Systematic Narrative Review.
Review in JAR life, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Frailty is a clinical condition common among older persons with heart failure (HF) and has been associated with an increased risk of adverse outcomes such as falls, disability, long-term care, and death. Malnutrition in terms of weight loss and sarcopenia is closely related to frailty. This review summarises nutritional interventions to improve components of frailty in older persons with HF. The online databases of Medline, Embase, Web of Science and Cinahl were searched in 2022 to identify studies of nutritional interventions among older persons with HF with outcomes related to frailty (e.g., body composition or functional measures). The records were screened, and eligible articles identified. In addition, reference lists of eligible articles and of four previously published reviews regarding HF and nutrition were screened. Eight articles were included in the review, of which seven were controlled trials and one was a feasibility study. Nutritional interventions included: vitamin D supplementation (n =2), protein supplementation (n =3), enteral nutrition (EN) or oral nutritional supplements (ONS) (n =2), or a low carbohydrate diet (n =1). The studies using protein supplementation, ONS or EN reported improvements on functional measures or body composition. Furthermore, the results from this review add to the evidence of the importance of combining nutritional support with physical activity to improve muscle mass and functional outcomes among older persons with HF.
